Randall, The material that I was looking at was the order books ( I believe ) for Colonel John S. Ford. They are a set of approx. 6 or so old ledger type books with typewritten information primarily orders . They mention a number of people who are primarily called by their surnames. I believe I still lack reading one of the books. Also available are letters . I believe to usually his officers . I believe Capt. Ware for one. Norwich Gussett who was from Live Oak County , Tex. And a number of others. I was very much impressed with his demeanor as a military man. He was no slouch as an officer. Next visit give it a shot you won't be disappointed. Just as an afterthought if you could get access to book by Hobart Huson the History of Refugio Co. Tex. give it a shot. He mentions a number of people who were the only group for a while between the Rio Grande. John Rabb of Nueces and Maj. L.M. Rogers and Capt. Doughty of Refugio Co. Best Regards , Charlie Peal
