General Major was the commander of a Regiment in General Greens division also he was general Greens brother in law. General Green was killed in battle about april or May of it seems to me 1864. Green was one of the greatest confederate generals in the war. His division was fightint yankee battle ships along the (Ithink) mississippi river. His calvery would ride along the banks of the river and fire canon or rifels into the ships sank several and killed many Yankess. General Green sadly had his head blown off by a canon ball fromone on the ships. Generl Majof untimatly took over the command of Greens division after he was Green was killed. There was another General in commandfor a short time who wrote a citation honoring General Green and his division. Fighting for 46 days and night in the saddle withour food or sleep and killing many times the number of Yankees. All of this information is in the Cornell University history of the civilwar it is all microfished. Both my great grandfathers were in Co. A Wood County Texas,( Stones Regiment) 2nd Partisian Regiment which served under General Green.
