Bill,

Lt. Col. G.W. Merrick surrendered the 22nd Texas CSA Cavalry at Millican, Brazos County, Texas.

I have my Charles Granville Graham's discharge papers that were found under the steps of the old Stephens County, Oklahoma courthouse when it was razed about 1963 that states that he was in Merrick's unit and that they surrendered at Millican, Texas. When this document was given to me, I immediately sent a copy to the Confederate Research Library in Hillsboro, Texas.

This G.W. Merrick is mentioned 8 times in my 998-page book, BOURLAND IN NORTH TEXAS AND INDIAN TERRITORY DURING THE CIVIL WAR: FORT COBB, FORT ARBUCKLE & THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS, that is described on my website, www.bourlandcivilwar.com.

I also have a Merrick family sheet showing this G.W. Merrick as a child in a family history that I published: BENJAMIN BOURLAND & FOURTEEN OF HIS CHILDREN.
