Bill, sorry about the incomplete information. It would be Meredith Hugh Ellison. I believe Meredith and George were brothers, sons of Claiborne, who we think was in St. Augustine, Texas in 1836, then returned to Yalobusha, Co., Ms before returning to Texas. My father looked pretty hard for Claiborne, or Claiburne (you know how spelling was). I certainly appreciate the information and will give the thread to my sister, who has the genealogical records. I, too, have not found an official link to Ross' Brigade but Meredith attended the reunion. I need to find the ribbon and make a photo for the records. My great-uncle, John Byrd, told me personally that Claiborne came from Yalobusha, Co., which means I'm ready for a trip with a sharp pencil. It is very possible Meredith enlisted after George's death. We were told he served under Bedford Forrest, but who knows in which campaign...
