Interesting; I've know of this list but not seen it in ites entirety before:
Peacock eventually died of his wound
Col Grant died at Agua Dulce Creek, as did James Cass.
Amelia Williams claimed Knowland/Noland as an Alamo death but Harbert Davenport reckoned the preponderance of evidence showed him as a Goliad victim, as was James West
Erastus Smith was of course the celebrated scout
John Belden lost an eye and I believe went home
As to the others I'll let others chime in

William Ward lost a leg and was sent to New Orleans. With a wooden leg, he had quite a long life in Texas, and lost his right arm when a cannon misfield during an 1841 San Jacinto Celebration. His bio is in the Handbook of Texas.

George Washington Main or Maine voted in the Feb. 1, 1836, election at the Alamo for delegates to the Convention and was killed at the Alamo.
One William Thomas cast a ballot at the Alamo on Feb. 1, 1836, but isn't on the usual lists of those killed at the Alamo.
I think "D.C. Mitchinson" actually reads "Dr. Mitchinson," i.e. Dr. Edward F. Mitchasson, wounded at Bexar. His name's not on the Feb. 1 voting list, but he is listed among the killed at the Alamo.
James McGee is on the Feb. 1836 voting list and is usually listed as an Alamo death.
Abrahams, Everett, Outlaw, McDermott, Logan, Pullam, West, Cornill [Cornell?], and Hall aren't on that voting list or in the usual lists of Alamo killed.

A motion to discharge Alexander Abrahams, a private in the New Orleans Greys wounded at the siege of Bexar, was read in the General Council at San Felipe de Austin on Jan. 5, 1836. After the reading of a certificate from Dr. Amos Pollard concerning the nature of Abrahams' wounds, his discharge was granted.
re. William McDermott, in the Republic of Texas Claims there's a note signed by him, undated, January 1836, stating that because of a wound he suffered to his hand on the 8th of the previous month (Dec. 1835) he was unable to return to his business, and he "placed himself at the mercy of his government for his assistance." There are other claims on the government of Texas after the Battle of the Alamo by a William McDermott who was still alive, but these may have been several different persons.
John L. Hall, a native of Ireland and member of the New Orleans Greys, received a medical leave of absence after his wounding at Bexar and returned to New Orleans but subsequently returned to Texas after the revolution.
