Albert fought in most of the battles of the Texas Revolution and survived
many Indian fights, only to be killed by a neighbor.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> His sons, Sam and Frank, were also Texas

their young wives if they did not. After
the Civil War, they were involved in the cattle industry and the trail drives
of the late 1800s.
