Robert, I did a quick look on a Meridith Hugh in the Ross Brigade and found that name was not on the roster. Below are the Hugh that are from Texas at the National Parks Service listing of Civil War soldiers. Records are available for most soldiers. Your George would have fought in battles in the indian Territory, at Wilson Creek, MO., at Pea Ridge or Elkhorn Tavern as I would call it. His horse was then sent back to Texas and through Iuka, Corinth I & II and Hatchie Bridge they fought dismounted. Let me know some more about Meridith. Did he go by other names? I have a fairly complete Whitfield / Ross Brigade Roster, but always seek new names. I need to go through the reunion records to see what I can see. Let me know if I can help in your search. At this site you can order copies of George's records Should be at least six records. If one of the Hugh listed below rings a bell their records are also available.
