The Compiler has not been able to identify the Robert Henry who participated in the battle of San Jacinto. Most of the men of Captain Gillaspie's Company resided in what are now Montgomery and Walker Counties. The only Headright Certificate issued to any one of the name of "Robert Henry" was issued by the Robertson County Board of Land Commissioners, February 5, 1838, but this Robert Henry did not participate in the battle of San Jacinto.
