This gallant Texas hero, Sion Record Bostick, was the grandson of James Bostick, a soldier who fought in the American Revolution from North Carolina. This Revolutionary soldier and wife Comfort Bostick were parents of eight children, one of whom was Levi. Levi and his wife Martha Hill were the parents of nine children and Sion Record Bostick was their eighth child. He was born in Montgomery, Alabama December 7, 1819. In 1829 when Sion was ten years of age, they moved to Texas and first settled in Austin County, being colonists of Stephen F. Austin's colony. Later they moved to Colorado County nine miles up the Colorado River above the present town of Columbus. Since trouble with Mexico was brewing during Sion R. Bostick's teenage years and hostilities began between the settlers and Mexico, young Sion was in the midst of the activity. The seventeen-year-old lad with five other men captured Santa Anna near San Jacinto and took him to General Sam Houston who lay wounded under a tree on the battlefield. He related the capture in a biographical sketch written for the Texas Historical Association Quarterly. In addition to his service at San Jacinto, Sion Bostick was in the Texas army at Gonzales and Bexar in 1835, stood against the Comanche Indians at the Battle of Plum Creek, was an American soldier in the Mexican War of 1846 and was a Confederate soldier in Hood's Brigade in the Civil War in the 1860's. He married Susan Townsend April 4, 1839. She was born November 22, 1823 in Georgia, daughter of Asa Townsend and Rebecca Harper Townsend whose ancestors were Light Townsend and his wife Deliliah who arrived in America before the Revolutionary War. Susan died February 27, 1860 and was buried with her parents in Borden Cemetery of Colorado County. Sion Record Bostick died October, 15, 1902 and was buried in San Saba.
