"Alfred Seymour [Thurmond], a lawyer of Victoria . . . His brother Alfred organized a company in San Antonio for the Confederate service during the war, of which he was made Captain, and he was with Green's Brigade in all the engagements of the trans-Mississippi Department. He was later a member of the Texas Legislature, and was a man of note. While on board a schooner bound from Rockport to Tucpan, Mexico, he was lost at sea and nothing has ever since been heard of the vessel or people."
