Note for: David C. Sessom, 1840 - approx. 1872
Index
Burial: Place: San Marcos, Hays Co., Texas, USA
Individual Note: David Sessom served in the Civil War as a Confederate newsdispatcher in the 3rd Texas Infantry. He was suspected bysome members of his community as being a spy for the Unionarmy. Subsequently, David Sessom was accused of treasonagainst the Confederacy, and later turned in by a man namedMayes.
David was hung as a traitor, and is buried in an unmarked
grave in San Marcos, Hays Co., Texas. His exact date ofdeath, and location of his burial are not known, as werethe circumstances of his death.
Michael Sessom, David's father, swore revenge on Mayes for
the death of his son, and soon after David's passing, Mayesdid indeed meet his end. That Michael Sessom suceeded inenacting his revenge, is the cause for some speculation.There are those who believe that Mayes was killed byIndians native to the area, as there was much tensionbetween the displaced Indian tribes and the early settlersof Hays Co.
It is sworn, however, by descendants of Michael Sessom,
that he confessed to murdering Mayes shortly before hisdeath.
Which ever view you take, it was indeed a lively history.
