I thought you'd be interested in the following entries in David L. Haimerl's listing of Wells' Command.
.
Quoting Wells' Command compiled by Haimerl:
Baugh, D.L.: In Co’F’/Well’s Rgt. Apr 65 muster states detach. To make shoes Warren, TX, 15 May 65 per SO#105, Gen Maxey.

Yeatts, E.L.: A PVT in Co’A’/Wells’ Rgt. Apr 65 muster states detached and assigned to post duty at Warren, TX, 23 Dec 63 by order of BG Steele.
..............................

As you know, Warren's Trading Post #1, Warren's Trading House #2, the Warren Masonic Lodge in Bonham, and Warren's Depot in Fannin Co TX (that is now part of a huge gravel pit, due to neglect by the locals), are addressed many times in my book.
.
Next question that I should have asked long ago: Do you have the listing of the 25 men who were stationed at Warren's Depot with your Joshua Doss Coffee? Is it on the Internet?
.
Making shoes in Warren, Fannin Co TX is relevant. I thought the nearest place shoes were made was in Paris TX, although there was a leather works in Ft Worth. Please comment?
.
I have been going through this "Wells' Command" listing with interest. What the reader should keep in mind is how hard some of this handwriting is to transcribe then interpretation is another bailiwick.
.
In order to make these 1864-1865 Texas records make sense, we have to work together and freely exchange information. And alas, don't forget the Bourland Border Regiment while working with Good's Battalion, Scanland's Squadron, Gillette's Company, etc.
.
I have worked on these North Texas records for years and have confidence that in my lifetime, I will have identified most of the 37,000 entries in my expanding 128-page Name Index.
