Re: G.W. Watson; Feb 7, 1865 in Wichita Mountains
Patti,
Not sure this is your man.
Pvt. G.W. Watson, age 20. Capt. Samual J. Richardson's Co 2d Regmt. Texas Mounted Rifles. Enlisted April 19, 1861 at Marshall,Texas. Mustered in May 23,1861 at San Antonio,Texas. Assigned to Ft Inge, Ft Clark, then Marshall,Tx and Camp Ford,Tx.
This company at some time became an unattached company. In August 1863 they were releived as guards at Camp Ford by Anderson/Border's Regiment Tex. Cav. They then went to Arkansas. (From my research of Anderson/Border's Regmt. Richardson was suppose to join up with Walter P. Lane after he left Camp Ford).
The last card on Pvt. Watson show him, with leave starting 1 May 1864. No camp location shown.
