Sarah Ann Vouchere Walker, widow of Jacob Walker, who was said to have been the last man to die in the Alamo, was born in Louisiana in 1811. She married and came to Texas in 1829, and to this area in 1844. She received Republic of Texas Land Grant No. 1 in Sabine County, a league and labor east of the Brazos. She once rode horseback 300 miles to warn Gen. Sam Houston of an impending Indian attack. Her burial site, about 100 feet to the south, was set aside in perpetuity by her grandson, George Anthony Stanfield.
