G.T.T.
Galba Fuqua
(1819-1836)
The son of Silas and Sally Taney Fuqua, Galba was only three days short of his seventeenth birthday when he died helping to defend the Alamo.
Susannah Dickerson reported that Galba ran into her room in the chapel during the final siege and tried to tell her something. With his jaw broken, Susannah could not understand him. He raced back to the fight unable to convey his last message to her.
Some have identified Galba as being of Mexican ancestry, however he may have been descended from the French Hugenots.
