The Heartsill book covers the Lane,s Rangers really well but this was a volunteer group out of Marshall, Texas, that simply took the name of Lane he wasn't a part of it. Lt. Col. Lane was commander of Lane' Brigade. The info given indicates the buried soldier was in Co A of several companies of a Brigade, not in a vol. company. My ggfather was in Co F of Lanes First Texas Partisan Rangers. I found that from National Archives and Texas. Also in 1850, 60, 70 and 1880 US census - nothing else . He is not buried with his wife who receieved a pension. He died in 1892; her in 1935 but where is he buried? He was Joe Hewitt, my namesake.
