Richard L. Stockton was born in 1816 in Essex County, New Jersey, and attended the University for one term in 1833. Stockton traveled to Texas in 1835 and soon after was sworn into the Volunteer Auxiliary Corps of Texas at Nacogdoches. His company, commanded by Captain William B. Harrison, became known as the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers and included the already well-known Davy Crockett. As a rifleman in Harrison's company, Stockton reached San Antonio de Bexar around February 9, 1836. When the Mexican army arrived on February 23, the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers held the responsibility of guarding the town while the rest of the men fell back into the Alamo. On March 6, Santa Anna's 3,000 men broke through the Alamo's defenses after a two-week siege and put every defender to the sword. Richard Stockton, aged 19, died somewhere in the inner courtyard of the Alamo's south wall while defending the low wooden palisade which ran between the chapel and the low barracks.
