Re: Gillum's Regt., and R. Kirk

Hello. That sounds like a possiblity.
The original information I had on the man said he had a tally book where he kept account of all the grain that was tithed to a lab near Tyler, Texas.
In another piece of information titled Office Confederate States, Chem Lab, 10-20-1864: R. A. Kirk will proceed to purchase corn from farmers detailed to produce grain. He will also purchase any barley and rye they may have. He will in no instance interfere with claims of the war widows or soldiers. He will inform parties that these works are on the same footing with all the other government works. And that those detailed as farmers are fully authorized to see that his recipt of grain will be recognized by me as my agent. A copy may be left with anyone requiring it. (signed) W. R. Johnson, Sgt. P.A.C.S. in charge
Any more suggestions, information etc. greatly appreciated.

P.S.
To change the subject completely, I am wondering if Tyler is where
my gg grandfather, Sgt. Pleas H. Loyd of the 36th Arkansas was during that time frame as the 36th surrendered in Texas.
