[quote]QUESTION. ..With hesitation, I have to ask: ..Were these records you are quoting from "old family records" or from archival records? or from my book?[/quote]

This is information sent to my wife, in 1995, from Larry Shaffer (?). I believe he was writing a book at that time. I don't know if it was ever finished or published.

He footnotes the military information as from "Military Muster Rolls, Texas State Archives, Austin".

That's all the info I have.
