The chapel at the Alamo has had a Welsh flag for many years. In booklets, books and from the staff at the Alamo the name of this defender is Lewis Johnson. However, a check of his genealogy shows he not Welsh, neither are his ancestors. Original rosters show Lewis, William (Initial T, S or I) who disappears from later defender lists. Second possibility is William Irvine Lewis, who while he and his immediate family are from Virginia, but he does have ancestors who had land in Ireland, but came from Wales. My new information is a list from Col. Neill listing a James Lewis. He has a land grant. My question is, does anyone else have information on this man?
