William James Trimble
a Fayette county resident, joined Dawson's men in company with his brother, Edward Trimble and others from Wood's Prairie, intercepting the main body near the southwest corner of the county, en route to Seguin. He became the self-appointed morale officer of the captives, being dubbed "Tecolote" ("Screech Owl") by his captors, because he was able to mimic this owl. Trimble went out of his way to humorously harass his captors and thereby entertain his fellow inmates. he died in Perote Prison on January 5, 1844 of yellow fever.
