William BARCLAY b. about 1812 in Tennessee; unmarried; died in 1846 of wounds suffered during the US-Mexican War. When he got to New Orleans, he was tired of overland travel, by foot trail and horse, and it was still another 350 miles of virgin forest to go through, mostly by footpath. There, he made arrangements to board a ship in the harbour of New Orleans bound for Galveston, the major point of entry by water into Texas. He would work as a crewman on the ship in exchange for his passage. Before they got completely out of the harbour of New Orleans, the ship was captured by a regiment of Mexican soldiers. The crew was arrested on the grounds of priracy, because the cargo was food stuff for the troubled Texas port where unrest had already started that would break into fighting the following month. A Mexican military trial was held and all crew members, including William Barclay, were found guilty on Thursday and sentenced to be executed by firing squad the following Monday morning at daybreak. Knowing their fate, Sunday, the crew was able to smuggle out a statement by the chaplain, signed by them all, to their relatives to let them know what had become of them and to tell them that they had not been pirates and were not guilty. The execution took place the following morning. The statement was published in the newpaper of New Orleans the following week.
