US Major Sackfield Maclin, later CS Major and Chief Commissary Officer of Texas had an interesting part in the early surrender of US troops in Texas at San Antonio. I have read that he may have left a diary?

Major Maclin (1809-1876)is buried at Sardis, Panola Co. Mississippi. His son, CS Captain Robert Booth Maclin, (1838-1862) a Yale graduate, is buried at San Antonio.
