I finally received a copy today from Texas Tech University concerning a "descriptive list" from the Robert E. Lee Camp 158, United Confederate Veterans, dated May 4, 1907 for my great-great-uncle Crockett Boone.
Uncle Crockett states that he was "adjutant of the Mason County, Texas encampment, colonel and aide-de-camp on Gen. Ross' staff, and captain of the state encampment at Rockwall County, Texas."
I assume that means he was an officer in the UCV camps in Mason County and Rockwall County prior to joining the Fort Worth Camp in 1907. Does anyone know of any records that exist concerning the United Confederate Veterans camps in Rockwall County or Mason County?
It is my understanding that a person who was the head of the UCV in a certain state was called the General. I believe when Gov. Sul Ross, also a confederate general, was head of the Texas UCV in 1893-96 or so, that Crockett Boone was a colonel on his UCV staff. In his obit, it states that Crockett Boone was "made a UCV colonel under Gen. Ross."
