Re: 1st Regt. ,Tx Heavy Artillery Co.I

Gary,
Yes, thank you so very much it does help. I appreciate the time it took for you to do this . I am going to recheck pension files and see what I can come up with.
The actual person I am researching is John Warren BARROWS. BARRON is one of the variants which makes it really hard.
I was focusing in on the J.W. BARRON from Galveston because there was a John & Dan BURROWS listed on 1860 Galveston Co., TX. census . There's another I need to check out that was with GREGG"S regiment.
My John W. BARROWS died Dec 1888 in Tombstone, AZ. and supposedly his wife died 2 years later, but I believe she came back to Texas first. I have looked for a pension but no luck. My gr-grandfather at age 7 was orphaned along with 6 siblings. I don't even know if he was even in the military, but he would have been 26 when CW started, so I really don't see how he could have not been.
While researching possibly two brothers who fought for the north in Illinois, the ILL. State Archives has their CW soldiers listed. Their age, place born,eyes, complexion, where they joined. Wish more Archives would do that.
I can't find anywhere in ILL. where Warren Barron(Barrow) also moved there or that he served in military there at all. I know nothing about my John W. BARROWS before 1871 when he married my grandmother, Mary A. COOPER in McLennan Co., TX.

Thank you and bless you
Phyllis
