Thanks, Mr. Morin. That is correct...we had been told that they were in "Short's" Company. In case you're interested, James Truitt was quite popular. He served in SC and later in TX. He represented the Moderators at a peace conference in Shelbyville in 1844. During the Mexican War he is siad to have commanded a company of Moderators who fought beside a company of Regulators during the battle of Monterrey. In Feb, 1843 he was elected justice of the peace in Shelby Co, and in Dec, 1843 was elected to the Eighth Congress as a representative of Shelby Co. He was reelected to the Ninth Congress in 1844. Between 1846 and 1866 he represented Shelby Co. in six state legislatures. He was a member of the House of the First and Second, and a member of the Senate of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eleventh Legislatures. The state of Texas placed a historical marker at his grave in the Truitt cemetery in Shelby Co., TX. Thanks again for your help.
