BRADLEY, DANIEL - Shown on page 41, Army rolls in the General Land Office as having been detailed to guard the baggage at the camp opposite Harrisburg April 21, 1836, as a member of Captain Peyton R. Splane’s Company. Mony of the men who remained at the camp received Donation Certificates for “having participated in the battle of San Jacinto”. Where a soldier’s name is omitted from the official San Jacinto rolls and is shown on the Harrisburg Camp rolls, the compiler lists him as having been detailed to guard the baggage. He was a member of the Texas Veterans Association and in 1874 he was listed by this organization as: "age 57: in army of 1836. Robertson County”. (See Texas Scrap-Book, page 589).
