Jack Danel,
.
Please know that I defer to the genealogical work of direct descendants since they have skin in the game. ..I did the referenced cursory study since:
.
1) several "Bones" are mentioned in my book including "Capt. John W. Bone's" company was attached to Bourland's Regt.
.
2) these Bones lived in the 34 counties of North Texas that I address in my 1046-page study
.
3) your statement that family lore "13 Bone brothers served in the Confederacy" peaked my interest
.
Maiden names. ...Please let me know your "John Bone" findings including the "maiden names of wives."
...........I maintain a "Bone13brothers" file that includes our correspondence, my brief research, and your postings on
........... this forum. ..Since I have scores of family sheets about the families of 1850-1860 North Texas, I can
........... possibly help if you send "maiden names of wives."
.
In my family histories, I strive to get the vital data of spouses' parentage for future reference as illustrated below.
.........My format attempts to list the surnames and counties of residence.
.
.........Mary J. Bourland, m,1. in Lamar Co TX on Jul 14, 1849 to Wm. Merrick [1829 TN-Sep 15, 1862 Fannin
.........Co TX], son of Elizabeth Hall [1790-1855 Fannin Co TX] and Griffith Merrick [1786 VA-1857 Fannin Co TX].
