John Walker Baylor, Jr. (c. 1813–1836) was a Texian pioneer and soldier.[1]
He was born at Woodlawn, Kentucky, around December 1813.[1] His father, John Walker Baylor, Sr., a United States Army surgeon, was the son of Major Walker Baylor.[1] His brothers George W., Henry W., and John R. Baylor were noted Texas rangers and soldiers.[1]
According to his family, Baylor left the Alamo as a courier, probably on February 25, 1836. He died on September 3, 1836, in Cahaba, Alabama, of complications from wounds suffered at the Battle of San Jacinto.[2][3]
