The Georgians , who were led by William Ward , suffered a harsh fate . Though they escaped the Battle of Coleto and the capitulation of James W. Fannin 's command , they were pursued by José de Urrea 's cavalry . Out of ammunition , they finally surrendered and were marched back to Goliad to join the rest of Fannin 's captured troops . On 27 March 1836 they were nearly all executed in the Goliad massacre
