41. ROBERT HOLMES 4 DUNHAM''' (Daniel A. 3 Daniel 2 Joseph 1) born in Tipton County, Tennessee about 1810-13; died at Salado, Mexico 25 March 1843. [1]
The Mier expedition was the last of the raiding expeditions from Texas into the area south of the Nueces River during the early days of the Republic of Texas. It was also the most disastrous of the expeditions from Texas into Mexico.
As members of the defeated Mier expedition were being marched from Mier to Mexico City they attempted a mass escape at Salado, Mexico on February 11, 1843. One hundred and seventy-six of these men were recaptured by the Mexicans and Mexican dictator Santa Anna ordered that one in ten of the prisoners be shot. The victims were chosen by a lottery in which each man drew a bean from an earthen jar containing 176 beans, seventeen of which were black.
All those who drew a black bean were to be shot.
A few of the doomed men had time to write letters home. Robert Holmes Dunham was one of these men. In an article which appeared in Dunham Dispatch in July 1995 a copy of the letter from R. H. Dunham to his mother was printed. The letter follows:
“Dear Mother,
I write to you under the most awful feelings that a son ever addressed a mother, for in half an hour my (doom) will be finished on earth, for I am doomed to die by the hands of the Mexicans for our late attempt to escape the (word missing) of Santa Anna that every tenth man should be shot. We drew lots. I was one of the unfortunate. I cannot say anything more. I die, I hope, with firmness. Farewell, May God bless you and may he, in this my last hour, forgive and pardon all my sins. A. D. Headenberg will, should he be able to, inform you. Farewell.
Your affectionate son,
R. H. Dunham.”
