Henry Warnell was born in 1812. In January 1835 he settled in Bastrop, where he lived with and worked for Edward Burleson. Warnell took part in the Siege of Béxar and later served in the Alamo garrison as a member of Capt. William R. Carey’s artillery company. There is some evidence that he escaped from the Alamo during the battle of March 6, 1836, but died in Port Lavaca in June 1836 from wounds received in the battle.
