Yellow StoneThe steamboat Yellow Stone, purchased by McKinney and Williams and registered to Toby and Brother Company in New Orleans, transported the Mobile Greys to Texas on December 31, 1835. In February, Captain J. E. Ross took the Yellow Stone up the Brazos to San Felipe. It anchored later at Groce’s Landing, and General Houston commandeered the boat to transport his men across the river. The steamboat continued down the Brazos, narrowly escaping capture by the Mexican army at Fort Bend. It transported a load of supplies and muskets to Galveston on April 25, then picked up the government to take it to the San Jacinto battlefield on May 4.
