Hugh Keen,

Yes. I would love to have the names of 14 men who served in the Bourland's Regt that are listed in the Oklahoma CSA Pension records. Many of the men listed in Bourland's Regt. had only surnames, and many of those names misspelled. Also, some served in Bourland's Regt. after January 1, 1965 when the last formal records were written. And as you may know, Col. James Bourland signed the Jun 2, 1865 CSA Surrender of the the North Texas District, since Gen. H.E. McCulloch burned his papers and left town in April 1865. I study the last year of the War, especially the last six months when the records are sparse.

I'll wash your car or do something to repay you for thes Oklahoma Oklahoma CSA Pension records.

Yes, I have him listed in a corporal in a Hopkins Co TX militia, but could not find him in the Texas census. In my 176-page Name Index, I have him listed as a sergeant then a deserter.

WRIGHT, Joseph E. Wright, Write, b-1839; 11th Cav, Co D, Cpl, Sgt, deserted Aug 1, 1863 (Cpl, Hopk Co, TST), A-120

Wright brothers. The superlative Wright researcher who sent me this Wright info is a superlative researcher who I , and when she states that these Wright brothers served in the Cherokee Regt, one should listen. If you ask via e-mail, I'll send you her e-mail address because I have no doubt that she would like to give you her reasons for believing that these Wright brothers served in the Cherokee Regt. You'll notice that T.J. Wright's family lived in Washington Co AR. I have corresponded with this this Wright, Write, Right researcher for 15 years.
