• Notes

  Elam was a member of Capt. Nicholas M. Dawson's reinforcment company at the battle of Salado Creek, and was killed in this action against Mexican forces in September 1842. "I received a wound in my shoulder early in the action and my two companions, J.B. Alexander and Elam Scallorn, were killed at my side. My father soon fell, and my brother I fear was mortally wounded. Death in every shape stalked through our thin ranks." - -Gonzalvo Woods, Dawson Massacre survivor Source: DEATH IN EVERY SHAPE: THE DAWSON MASSACRE AND THE MEN OF THE FAYETTE COMPANY by Harry L. Krenek, Ph.D.
