Re: Parole Records from Boothe's Records

Thanks for your response, Art. We are busy trying to come up with plausible scenarios regarding an ancestor's service. Since he was the youngest of the generation to take up arms, we were trying to figure out what he did. Officer Squire took up command of the TransMississippi Department after reassignment from General Longstreet, I believe. We have a parole application, stating Squire's Battalion, and also Siege Train. There's a connection there, maybe if the records still exist. Mr. Boothe had to have copied the information from somewhere, so I believe it exists in the National Archives. As a side note, there was an economic collapse in the 1880s in Louisiana that caused the Family to move on to different parts of the country. We are piecing that together as well. My Grandmother was the youngest of 13 brothers and sisters from around Macomb Mississippi. The oldest of them passed on first hand accounts of the War in South Mississippi. Once I draw the loop around what can be found out about Civil War Service, we'll be down to what was really documented about the War in Family Sources. One thing I noticed. Not counting cousins, it looks like the entire Family, just like WWII, was in service during the Civil War.
