Bourland's Regt, Alexander Boutwell

Dan C. Boutwell,

Yes, your Alexander Boutwell is mentioned 20 times in my 128-page Name Index.

1858 attack on a Cooke County home, killing several. I have devoted about six pages to that event including the listings of two militias that Bourland was authorized by Governor Runnels to raise. One was raised partially at Beaver Creek Station, Chickasaw Nation, Pickens County on the Leased Lands line, Indian Territory (now Ryan, Jefferson Co OK).

May 21, 1861. No, I do not have a reference to that document that shows that Alexander Boutwell was appointed, by the county commissioners, to a board of patrollers for Gainesville, for the purpose of maintaining order and security in the area by assailing those who opposed the Confederacy. ... Please send me a copy.

May 23, 1861, correction, On May 25, 1861 your Alex Boutwell, age 37, mustered as a Lt. in Captain W.C. Twitty's Company.
