That's great! Had not found any leads at first. Does it show the unit designation or how many of them were in the 1st, 4th or 5th Texas of Hood/Robertson in the AOV? (Will have to see what counties the companies mustered in from.) That allows plenty of leads. A seperate index in book form showed only one CCW veteran by that name. It looked old and incomplete. It would be John L. if I remember correctly. I need to verify the Waco connection with a census precinct and names of sons and daughters. I have a picture (and lots of names) of his son, born 1851, standing in front of a house with a flat background that looks to be out west. I knew his son as a small child and know many brothers and sisters came to his funeral. I had a turn of the century picture of him and two sisters professionally restored for Christmas presents a few years ago. The guy who did it said he could tell a lot about them by the way they were dressed. (The old man was supposed to have had a lot of land out in Texas.) He worked for the railroad 35 years. Would like to nail him down in Hood's Texas Brigade eventually. The one I need is a ggggrandfather. Do you have any other info access on the Texas companies? Will check this site, also.
