Original grantee
James Butler Bonham is remembered as the Alamo courier who died in the 1836 battle after carrying appeals for aid during the Texas Revolution. A J. B. Bonham survey should still be checked against the GLO patent file for its exact certificate class, but the name most likely reflects the Republic and State practice of recognizing revolutionary service through bounty, donation, or related land certificates. In title history, that means the abstract is tied not only to a person but to Texas's method of converting military service and sacrifice into land.
