Simply not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Interesting footnote in Alamo history, perhaps.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:10, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Handbook of Texas, which according to its Wikipedia article is a comprehensive biographical dictionary of Texas, has a 594-word biography of the subject, here. If we're not basing our standards of notability on one of the best biographical dictionaries in the area, what are we doing?. Also, Alamo Defenders has a 2-page biography of the subject, here (the source is in the bibliography of the Handbook of Texas article). There is a biographical sketch in this history (also cited in the Handbook of Texas, although I can't read all of it on Google Books). The website of the San Jacinto Museum of History has a 1,719-word biography by Louise W. Kemp, here, which is the first hit on Google. And there's this piece from a mid-20th-century Texas newspaper.
