Jeremiah Jr. is an interesting person. Found in 1836 enlisting in New Orleans for the newly formed Texas Republic Militia (see Index to Military Rolls of the Republic of Texas 1835-1845, nothing much is heard from him again. His enlistment was for six months and that service apparently earned him a land grant in then Milam County, Texas (now Bosgue County). He was not included in his fathers will of 1840. This doesn't mean he was dead by this date necessarily, but it is curious.
