GEDCOM Note

John Ramsdale, (son of Francis and Ann Ramsdale) a member of the Texas Navy, was onboard the ship that recaptured the Hannah Elizabeth at the mouth of Matagorda Bay. He was a member of the party aboard the San Felipe, which captured the Mexican vessel Correo. In October, 1835, the San Felipe wrecked on Matagorda Peninsula. " … A precursor to this change was an event in which Stephen F. Austin's vessel, the Texas schooner San Felipe figured soon after landing its noted passenger. Lying near the mouth of the Brazos when the San Felipe arrived was a Mexican schooner, the Correo de Mexico, dispatched to patrol the Texas coast to enforce compliance with more restrictions. The San Felipe maneuvered as if to board, and the Correo fired on the ship Austin had just left. Thereafter ensued a fight that resulted in the capture of the Correo and gave some persons reasons for calling it the first battle of the Texas rebellion." In 1835,John received a Certificate of headright for 1/3 league of land, located on the Sabine river near what is now Marshall, Texas, where he established the Ramsdale Ferry (also known as Rocky Ford) on the Sabine River. Wife Melinda was pronounced destitute some years later, and helped to get widow's benefits. W.W.O. Stanfield, a brother-in-law, deeded some land in Harrison county to her July 15, 1845. However, John was still living, in Wise county, Texas, in 1880, age 66, according to the census.
