Baugh, John J.

November 13, 2014 by tcloud 3 Comments

John J. Baugh, adjutant of the Alamo garrison, was born 1803 in Virginia. He traveled to Texas in 1835 as a first lieutenant of Thomas H. Breece’s company of New Orleans Greys and took part in the Siege of Béxar. After the battle he was promoted to captain and served as Lt. Col. James C. Neill’s adjutant with the Texan force left to garrison the town. Baugh entered the Alamo with the garrison under Lt. Col. William Barret Travis on February 23, 1836, when the Mexican army arrived. He died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.

    Hello Sir/Madam My name is Tim H Baugh I am 63 years old I visited the Alamo monument many years ago in 1973 while stationed at Lackland airforce base. I was very surprised to learn that a John Baugh died there. After returning home I had learned from my grand father George Washington Baugh that we indeed had a relative who fought at the Alamo. I was just curious to know if and or how I might be able to find out anymore information on the subject. I of course understand with such little information you may not be able to help much. My Baugh relatives settled in the Salinas area of Calif. but came from the east coast Kentucky and Virginia areas. Its just interesting to track down one” past. Thank You Tim Baugh

      Dear Tim, My name is Pauline and I live in Houston. I just saw your comment on this site requesting more information about John Baugh who died at the Alamo. I was wondering if you ever found out any more information. I am also related to some Baugh’s from Virginia and I am trying to see if I can piece together some information. I am 67 years old and have been to the Alamo many times but only the other day did I really look at the names.

      Any ideas you have are appreciated. Blessings. Pauline in Houston
