Mike,
.
I truly appreciate your looking through the Burnet Co TX CSA pension applications. You are a gentleman and a scholar for spending that much time looking for this info.
.
Did these men have to show any documentation: i.e., their passport papers or oaths of allegiance?
.
QUESTION: .. Hunter's militia is mentioned five (5) times. ..Where was this a militia raised? And were these five men mentioned?
.
20. Boyce, Isaac E....Pvt ** Hunter's..State Militia..Texas of Burnet Co TX
21. Burchett, J.S.....Pvt ** Hunter's..State Militia..Texas
22. Cole, Alfred T....Pvt ** Hunter's..State Militia..Texas
26. Kolb, William.....Pvt ** Hunter's..State Militia..Texas
28. Pyeatt, Andrew M..Pvt ** Hunter's..State Militia..Texas
.
The name Major Sherrod Hunter of the 2d Arizona Regt. keeps ringing in my mind. This batch of five guys must have known each other through a common experience ... even if it was in a wagon train.
