I am seeking information you may have regarding a Major John Y. Rankin who served in the Confederate army from 1861 to the war's conclusion. This major moved to Brownwood, Texas in 1870 and became one of our town's leading businessmen. It is said he lived some of his teenage years in Missouri. What I need to know is which part of the country he served in and anything else of note about his military service.
Thank you,
