Dr. Robert Donnell Bone (April 8, 1832 - February 24, 1892) was born in Wilson County, Tennessee, and moved with his family to Nacogdoches County, Texas in 1841. He graduated in 1858 with a medical degree from the University of Nashville. On December 15, 1856 he married Minerva Burk, the daughter of James Burk. Minerva was born January 1841 in Winchester County, Tennessee and had migrated to Texas with her parents in 1848. Both families were Presbyterian. Dr. and Mrs. Bone had two sons, Watson Bone, born in 1860 (died in 1862) and Winstead Bone, born in 1861. Dr. Bone entered the Confederate service as assistant surgeon of Col. Overton Young's Texas Infantry (12th Texas Infantry Regiment, sometimes called the 8th) in November 1861. He left the service in December 1862 after being rejected by an Army medical board. In 1867 he went to Cherokee County and remained there until his death. The collection consists of typescript copies of the Civil War letters of Dr. Robert Donnell Bone, assistant surgeon, 12th Texas Infantry Regiment, and his wife, Griselda Minerva Burk Bone: approximately 30 letters by Dr. Bone to his wife, November 10, 1861 - February 10, 1863; 22 letters and a poem from his wife to Dr. Bone, December 19, 1861 - February 6, 1863. Most of Dr. Bone's service was in Texas although he served for a short time in Arkansas near Arkadelphia. Dr. Bone's letters give little information about his duties as a surgeon but a great deal about soldier morale. Mrs. Bone's letters give details about life in a rural Texas community: household duties, improvisations, religion, public morale and neighborhood gossip, as well as expressions of loneliness and devotion to her husband. Also included are copies of photographs of Dr. and Mrs. Bone; 2 letters by Col. Overton Young, 12th Texas Infantry Regiment, recommending him for appointment as Assistant Surgeon; an expression of confidence signed by company commanders of his regiment upon his resignation; a Special Order stating that Dr. Bone had been rejected by the Army Medical Board; and several newspaper clippings including an obituary of Dr. Bone.

James Henry Carter, a Georgia businessman, married Henrietta Matilda Hardin in November 1846. In 1860 he purchased a farm in McLennan County, Texas, to which his family soon moved from Georgia to join him. Shortly afterward, on the outbreak of the Civil War, Carter enlisted in the Confederate Army. His regiment, the Fifteenth Texas Infantry, was commanded by his former friend from Georgia and current neighbor in Texas, Colonel James Edward Harrison. This unit fought in southern Louisiana, where James Henry Carter died of a wound in September 1864. James Edward Harrison was promoted to colonel of the 15th Texas Infantry in the spring of 1863 and to Brigadier General in the winter of 1864, and was the Confederate officer who formally surrendered Texas to General Gordon Granger of the United States Army at Galveston on 19 June 1865. His wife, Mary Evans Harrison, had died in Waco in 1862, and in 1866 Harrison married Henrietta Carter. The couple lived on Harrison's plantation, Tehuacana Retreat, near the present McLennan County community of Harrison Switch. Biographical sketches of James Edward Harrison may be found in The New Handbook of Texas and in The Handbook of Waco and McLennan County, Texas. The majority of the Carter Family Papers consist of correspondence. Among the Carter letters is one written by James Henry Carter from Austin, Texas, in which he describes the state in glowing terms to Henrietta ("Hennie"). Other correspondence between Hennie and her family and friends still in Georgia concerns domestic affairs during the Civil War. A brief portfolio of correspondence to James Michelle Carter is also included in the family papers. Within the Harrison correspondence are letters to General Gordon Granger and President Andrew Johnson concerning Harrison's role in the Civil War. Also included in the Harrison Family Papers are military orders issued by Brigadier General Harrison, a copy of the Creek Indian treaty negotiated by Harrison, and household diaries maintained by Henrietta from 1869 to 1877.

The Texas Legislature pledged and appropriated monetary relief for the support of indigent families of Texas Civil War soldiers. This series consists of lists submitted by the counties and maintained by the Texas Comptroller's Office, of indigent soldiers eligible for relief from the State of Texas during the Civil War, 1863-1865. The information given in these lists varies somewhat from county to county. While the number of dependents is always given, additional information may include some of the following: name of the soldier; whether currently in service; whether disabled or killed in service; the military unit; and/or the acting head of the household. An index of the names of the soldiers is in a computer printout in the Texas State Archives search room, and is also available online ( http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/cif/index.html). This is an index only; transcriptions of the records have been published by Linda Mearse. Please note that lists are not extant for every county. There is a remote possibility that additional lists may be found in Comptroller's Office unprocessed records. (Researchers should please note that the term "Confederate" may be incorrect and misleading, since there was no contribution from the government of the Confederate States of America. Also, soldiers enlisted in State military units as well as Confederate units qualified for this relief. The term "Confederate" has been used for so long, however, that to rename it might add to the confusion.). Historical Sketch: On November 24, 1863, the 10th Texas Legislature (Regular Session) passed a Joint Resolution stating that the government pledged "support and maintenance of (the soldiers') families during their absence from home." In accordance with this Resolution, an "Act to Support the Families and Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 15, 1863. The Act set aside $1,000,000 annually to be paid to the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers currently serving in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or disabled in service." Chief Justices of the counties, on or before March 1 in 1864 and 1865, submitted lists of servicemen and the number of their dependents

eligible for relief. The County Clerk administered the money distributed to the county for this purpose.

Location: Huntington Library, Manuscripts Dept., mss, 1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino, CA 91108. Call Number: HM 68183. William G. Felton was born in Pennsylvania in 1843. As a child, his family moved to Ohio where he worked on the family farm and for a neighbor who was a tanner. In 1861 he enlisted in the 44th Ohio Infantry Regiment where he saw action at Lewisburg, West Virginia. In 1863, he became a lieutenant in the 4th Arkansas Colored Regiment, which eventually became part of the 57th United States Colored Infantry Regiment; after being mustered out of the 57th, Felton joined the 6th Arkansas Colored Regiment, which eventually became part of the 113th United States Colored Regiment. Felton then became a scout, was captured by the Confederates, mistaken for a spy and was sent to the Camp Ford Stockade Prison in Texas; he was released in May 1865. Felton then moved to Ohio, California, Nevada, and then to Wyoming where he ran a stagecoach line from Cheyenne to Custer, South Dakota. In the 1870s, Felton moved to Leadville, Colorado to farm and mine for gold. This handwritten manuscript was prepared by William G. Felton in 1886. In his reminiscences, Felton talks in detail about the following subjects: his time in the army, the Battle of Lewisburg, the siege of Vicksburg and his time at the Camp Ford Stockade Prison; his experiences in stage coaching in Wyoming and South Dakota, including an incident with the Dakota Indians, after which Felton was sent to Fort Laramie; the Battle of Little Bighorn; Crazy Horse's death at Camp Robinson; farming in California and Nevada; and mining in Colorado. Felton specifically talks about the following individuals: Buffalo Bill, Crazy Horse, George Crook, George Custer, Ulysses S. Grant, Henry Heth, Wild Bill Hickok, and Joseph Reynolds.

Duke University. Call Number: 2nd 20:C. Chiefly courtship letters written by Robert Alexander Felton to Pauline Kirkpatrick of Marietta, Ga. There are also a few poems. The letters detail Felton's service as a surgeon in the Confederacy. There are letters from Wood County, Texas; Camp Davis, Lynchburg, Va.; Camp Alcorn, Hopkinsville, Ky; and a Confederate Hospital in Iuka, Miss.. Felton may have been a member of Col. John Gregg's 7th Texas Infantry Regiment from the beginning of his tenure in the service, but this is unclear. He was taken prisoner sometime after the Battle of Fort Donelson in February, 1862, and was held for a time in the federal prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois, but was released by July of that year. While it is not certain, it appears he may have been at Fort Donelson during that battle. At least one 1862 letter expresses criticism of General Gideon J. Pillow following the battle. Felton joined the 19th Arkansas Regiment in 1863, serving with General Cabell's Brigade. There are scattered references about his medical duties and military regulations for surgical personnel. The letters also include descriptions of Tyler and East Texas in the 1850's; a trip which took him from Atlanta to New Orleans in 1859; and the political climate in Texas preceding its secession from the Union.

papers of Newell and family. Personal correspondence of the 1850s and 1860s reflects the plantation and social activities of the Newell, Forman, and Keary families. Some letters were written from Newell to his wife during a trip to his home in Ireland (1859). Civil War correspondence includes letters of members of the Newell and Forman families who served in the 16th Louisiana Infantry and the 8th Louisiana Heavy Artillery Battalion at camps Moore, Boggs, Tupelo and Chalmette.

Letters of Robert A. Newell to his wife were written while he was living with the Keary family of the Catalpa Plantation during the Civil War prior to his departure to Texas. Letters from Newell while he was working and traveling in east and central Texas comment on prices, niter mining, business conditions, Confederate currency, slaves, crops, the local population, and the Commanche Indians of central Texas. Early financial papers include slave bills of sale for slaves purchased in Louisiana (1846-1863).

Richard Lloyd Pugh (1837-1885) was the son of Thomas Pugh (1796-1852) and Eliza C. Foley (d. 1885). Thomas and his half-brothers, Augustin and Whitmell, were planters on Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana. Among Thomas' holdings were the Madewood, Energy, Little Texas, and Pothier plantations. By the 1860s, the Pugh family owned 18 plantations and 1,502 slaves. Richard Pugh did not inherit any of the Pugh holdings but purchased the Dixie Plantation and its slaves in 1860. In 1861, Richard married Mary Louise Williams, daughter of John Williams and Marie Louisa Maguire. R. B. Mayes, related to the Maguire family by marriage, was a business partner of Williams. Richard Pugh served as a private in the Louisiana 5th Company Battalion of the Washington Artillery, March 1862-June 1863. Richard Pugh's family fled to Rusk, Texas before the Union troops invaded the Bayou Lafourche area in Nov., 1862. Richard received a furlough in early 1863 to join his family in Texas. He subsequently supplied a substitute to take his place in the war. The Pugh family returned to Dixie Plantation which continued to operate as a sugar plantation through the late 1800s. Figures most heavily represented in the collection include Richard Lloyd Pugh, John Williams, Mary Louise Williams Pugh, and R. B. Mayes. The collection contains genealogical

42

notes on the Pugh family. Letters from R. B. Mayes to John Williams detail partnership agreements, accounts, purchases, and the settlement of Patrick Maguire's estate. Letters of the 1850s indicate that Williams had financial difficulties and was forced to sell some property, though he was still active as a planter in the early 1860s. Civil War letters by Mary Pugh to Richard mention the capture of Baton Rouge by Federal forces, gunboats near the city, and news of battles at Vicksburg, Jackson, and Port Hudson. Letters describe the Pugh family's flight to Texas and the behavior of the slaves during their journey. Richard Pugh's letters to Mary during the war were written from Camp Moore, Louisiana, Corinth and Canton, Mississippi, and Chattanooga, Pikesville and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Letters detail camp life, skirmishes, battles, troop movements, and personal hardships. Correspondence from friends and relatives of the Pughs discuss planting, labor problems, the war, shortages of supplies, and personal matters. One letter (1861) was apparently written for Hannah Blair, a slave in Tennessee, by Mrs. H. H. Gallegher. Blair was replying to a letter from her husband, also a slave, whose owner had written a letter for him to Hannah. Legal documents include business agreements, partnership indentures, the will of Patrick Maguire, land purchases and deeds, and a rental agreement. Military items include a $20,000 bond of John Potts as brigade quartermaster and an order relieving him of his duty. Financial papers include slave bills of sale of Richard Pugh (most purchased in New Orleans); receipts for goods and services of Pugh; and materials (1847-1860) reflecting the accounts, purchases, loans, and notes of John Williams. Included are Williams' accounts with R. B. Mayes. Civil War financial records include Confederate requisitions and receipts for salt, beef, bacon, and corn handled by Richard Pugh. Financial manuscript volumes include a memorandum book kept by Pugh's employee, Tom Brady (1859-1865) which records work done by Brady; a payroll book which records cash paid by Williams to laborers; a daybook kept by Pugh which records debts and credits of laborers; two record books which outline mortgages and notes owed by John and Maria Williams at the Leighton Plantation; two cashbooks which record cash paid by Williams to laborers and for purchases of supplies; two journals, one kept by Pugh which relates to the Dixie Plantation (1870-1872), and one which records accounts of John Williams in Clarksdale, Mississippi; and six ledgers which were kept by Pugh and Williams for the Maguire, Leighton, Dixie, and Mascot plantations and reflect expenditures and credits of laborers, cotton factor records, and accounts of sales of cotton and sugar.

The typescript also contains a discussion and examples of poetry written by Johannes Romberg. Preferred Citation: Annie Romberg, History of the Romberg Family.

Ross Family Papers, 1859-1898, 1927-1931. Baylor University. Much of the early correspondence was generated during the Civil War when Sul Ross's military commitments to the Confederate States of America separated him from his family. Writing to his wife, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Tinsley Ross, and to his father-in-law, Dr. David Tinsley, of Waco, Ross relates the progress of the Waco company from its first camps and mustering in to its victories and losses on the battlefield. He describes camp life and company elections and recounts in detail the military engagements in which he has participated or of which he has heard from other soldiers. The letters reflect the initial enthusiasm of the recruits who truly believed the war would be short-lived, and their eventual disillusionment when they were absent from home for several years. Later letters from Ross cover his service as a representative at the 1875 Constitutional Convention, in the Texas Senate, and his presidency of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas [Texas A & M University]. There is also a series of letters in the early 1880s from Ross and other former members of the Sixth Texas Cavalry to Victor M. Rose of Victoria, who wrote the history of the unit.

Rowley Diary. Dates 1863-1865 . Abstract J. F. Rowley was probably a farmer, and possibly a teamster, since a list in the diary seems to refer to hauling loads of cotton, living in Texas during the 1860's. While obviously not well schooled, he could both write and draw reasonably well, and had a flair for framing vivid, if not tall, tales. He seems to have understood and spoken the Spanish language, since he reports conversing with the natives in

46

their language in Mexico. Whatever his profession, he was in any case an admitted and dedicated draft-dodger, later deserter, from the Confederate Army, and appears to have had strong Northern sympathies. Col. John Salmon Ford of the 2nd Texas Cavalry first attempted to draft Rowley into the Confederate Army. When finally impressed into service with the Confederates, Rowley served very briefly with Cook's Regiment, or the 1st Texas Heavy Artillery Regiment, before promptly deserting after being granted a leave to visit his home. Rowley performed a personal raid on Duff's Partisan Rangers to recover stolen property, and at one time records being afraid of being hung by the commander of Sibley's Brigade. Rowley appears to have had a stepson named Fred, who drifts in and out of the diary's narrative. Another son remaining back home is also mentioned. The J. F. Rowley Diary (1863-1865) is handwritten in ink on both sides of the pages of an imitation leatherbound, machine-ruled blank book with an insertion flap on the outside. The diary, measuring 14 cm. x 9 cm., is now housed in a clamshell box measuring 16 cm. x 11 cm. The clamshell box, received by the repository with the diary, has a leather spine, marble paper boards, and is stamped in gold on the spine: "Journal of J.F. Rowley, 1863-1865: original manuscript." Seventeen drawings that illustrate Rowley's adventures are included, drawn on some of the diary pages. They are all done in ink, pencil, and color; the color appears to be have been rendered with some type of colored pencils and possibly watercolors. The diary itself is undated, but states that the narrative with which it is concerned began on 27 August 1863. Rowley's account was most likely, therefore, written down at a later date, serving more as a memorandum of events rather than an actual dayto-day diary. The language and spelling used throughout are rough. While Rowley obviously knew how to write, he lacked much knowledge of accepted American English spelling or punctuation; in fact, no punctuation is used throughout the whole work. The diary also has a short list of numbers and names written in pencil on the endpapers, with mentions of cotton loads or consignments. Identification Ragan MSS 00118. Extent .2 linear feet.

The Sparks family of Bell County, Texas, was founded by William C. Sparks, a native of Mississippi. Having obtained a grant of land from the Mexican government, he settled in Robertson county and moved to Bell County in the early 1850s. He married Jane Alexander (d. 1867), a native of Arkansas. They had six children: Clara Jane (who married Volney Cavitt and lived in Wheelock, Robertson County), John, Elijah (private of Co. I of the 17th Texas Infantry, who died of pneumonia in camp in Dec. 1862), William C. (private of Co. E of 2nd Texas), Minerva (wife of Michael Reed), and Samuel A. (who ended the Civil War with the rank of the Lieutenant, and later was a farmer in Wilkinson Valley and sheriff of the Bell County). Michael R. Reed, son of John R. Reed and husband of Minerva Sparks, joined the 17th Regiment of the Texas Infantry in June 1862, together with his brothers, Henry and Edmund, and his brother-inlaw, Elijah. The regiment, part of Walker's Texas Division, McCulloch's Brigade, took part in the Red River Campaign. In Dec. 1862, Michael Reed was a male nurse at a hospital in Austin, Arkansas. In June-July 1863, he was sent to a convalescent camp four miles north of Monroe, Louisiana. In Dec. 1863 he went home on furlough. In March, when he returned to camp, he was arrested and was about to be court-martialed. He died of wounds in July, 1864 near Alexandria, La. William Sparks, brother of Minerva Sparks Reed, joined the 2nd Texas Infantry, nicknamed "2nd Texas Sharpshooters." The regiment, one of the best drilled regiments in the Confederate Army, took part in the battle of Shiloh, Farmington, occupation of Juka, siege of Corinth, and siege of Vicksburg. It surrendered with the remainder of the Vicksburg garrison on July 4, 1863. After the surrender of Vicksburg, William Sparks made it back to Texas. The regiment was reorganized at Houston in the fall 1863, and served on the coast of Texas to the end of the war. Letters from Michael R. Reed, William Sparks, and Clara Jane Cavitt to Minerva Sparks Reed; also documents relating to the Sparks family. Michael Reed's letters describe the regiment's march through Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, the minutia of camp life, and encounters with Union prisoners. He at length discusses conscription, substitutes, and desertions, and duly reported war news, often rather distorted (thus he reported rumors of a complete Confederate victory at Gettysburg and Vicksburg). William Sparks' letters were written during the siege of Vicksburg and blockade of Galveston. They contain information about camp life, diseases, (especially the

50

outbreak of yellow fever), conscripts, Methodist preaching in Galveston, war news, and discussion of Confederate politics. The letters of Clara Jane Cavitt and other papers of the Sparks family document life in Texas in 1850-1860s, including charity and war efforts, reaction to the conscript law of April 1862, and discussion of war news.

Mississippi. The Stirlings had six children: Catherine (married John B. Hereford), Anne (married John L. Lobdell), James, Lewis, Daniel, and Ruffin. The sons were educated at St. Joseph's College in Bardstown, Kentucky; Lewis also attended Yale University. During the War of 1812, Lewis Stirling (Sr.) served in the 10th Regiment, Louisiana Militia; he was commissioned quartermaster in 1814. During the Civil War, members of the family took slaves and traveled first to Natchitoches, La., and then on to Smith County, Texas, where they lived near Canton until the war's end. The Stirlings donated money for the construction of Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francisville, La., and the family cemetery is located there. Stock, R. Diary, 1865.
