Daniel Millar

As the Texan army reorganized on April 2, 1836, the company that William J. E. Heard was elected to captain became Company F of Colonel Edward Burleson's First Regiment. At San Jacinto it stood in the middle of the Texan line, opposite the Mexican artillery, and overran the cannons. The muster index for the company shows forty-three names, among them its first lieutenant, William M. Eastland, who in 1843 became the only officer among the Mier prisoners to draw a fatal black bean and was shot.
