    Thesis: There are either two different early Texas Thomas Alley’s, or Thomas Valentine Alley (Thomas “One”) did NOT die in the 1820s. Even Walter Prescott Webb in the Handbook of Texas merged the two Thomas’s. Thomas Alley “Two” was too important to just disappear after 1836, yet he seems to!

    Thomas Alley “One.” History has it that Thomas V. drowned in the Brazos on his horse during a skirmish with Indians [spring of 1824].

    Thomas Alley “Two.” A Thomas Alley (Thomas Two) received a quarter league in Matagorda County in 1827 by John Crier.

    Among the first of the Texans to arrive for the Gonzales skirmish was Captain Thomas Alley, with a small detachment from the Colorado River. The year was 1835.

    The list of volunteers under the command of Edward Burleson, Commander-in-chief, who volunteered to remain at Bexar during the siege on November 24, 1835 included the Thomas of interest, and a William, and a Captain John Alley .
