WASHINGTON, JOSEPH G. (1808–1836). Joseph G. Washington, Alamo defender, son of Andrew and Margaret (Bridger) Washington, was born in Logan County, Kentucky, in 1808. He traveled to Texas in late 1835 with Peter J. Bailey, B. Archer M. Thomas, Daniel W. Cloud, and William Fauntleroy, all future Alamo defenders.

They joined the Volunteer Auxillary Corps of Texas and traveled to San Antonio de Béxar and the Alamo in Capt. William B. Harrison's company, which included David Crockett.
