Re: Benjamin F. Thompson, Cooke Co. Texas

He is not a relative but the company was called into service by the State of Texas at Gainesville and served Feb.1,1864 - June 1,1864 under Major Quayle. Thompson was 29 years old. You can order copies of his pay by the State of Texas at the Texas State Archives. Texas Confederate Audited Military Claims 1861 - 1865. File #1416 and #1486. Appears most of the privates of the company were in their 40s. Daniel Montague was the enrolling officer.
