Bonnie:
I have a website that you helped me with a couple of years ago -
http://confederateveterans.com/Landrum_G.html
I thought I had built a webpage for Solomon at the same time, but I can not
find anything. Can you help me with that one?
John

HA, isn't the internet grand? I have actually found several cousins online in my genealogy search!
Marsen aka Munsen Bellard was also in Speights' Batallion, I found his papers *POW* on footnote.com
an original document site that is very affordable. Should you need papers on anyone let me know and I"ll see if they have them. Running late on my getting Gabe, SOB and Marsene's documents on findagrave but my parents live with me and with this new move I've had to get Dad into VA and Mom with a new primary car
You bet I can - I am kind of slow working on this stuff, but will be more
than glad to add anything you can send me. Any pictures, stories, etc. will
be greatly appreciated.

This site on find a grave has a picture of James Dallas Collier in Uniform.
He was a musician and the picture is supposed to show him with a fife in
hand.
Does anyone have the ability to blow the picture up without distortion?

I think I have a way to get a better copy of the picture from the owner
which turns out to be a cousin of mine that I never would have found without
the internet.
Was Munsen in Spaight's Battallion?

Hey John, I tried to enlargen the pic for you and with no success. I tried to even google and didn't find, maybe if we write to the contributor of the picture on findagrave? I'll also get the findagrave site done for my GGGGrandfather Gabe Landrum this weekend and his brother, Solomon, aka SOB haha his nickname.
Also on my Munsen Bellarde, I have his papers where he was a prisoner of war and released and will send to you, he was my GGGrandfather and married Gabe's daughter Levina Landrum.
Nice to see the
Listers,
Please enjoy the diary excerpt below.
Several of my ancestors were members of the 11th Texas Cavalry, later known as the 11th Texas Volunteer Infantry. Most notably was Major Josephus Somerville Irvine. He and many of his CSA soldiers and McMahon inlaws are buried in Newton County, Texas.
There is a Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp named in his honor in Newton, Texas.
You can read more about the Major at:

John Pate,
I wrote a few days ago about my g grandfather, James E. Ferguson. He
enlisted in company C., later Company A, Speights Battelion Gibbs Texas
Infantry. He supposedly was a musician in that unit although I have no proof
of that. James E. was born April 26, 1842 in Sabine County, TX. and died
June 9, 1904 in Mason County, TX. He is buried in Mason County TX in the
Crosby Cemetery.
If you could add him to your info, I would appreciate it.

I am working on a new website dedicated to Spaight's Battalion.
The address will be www.spaightsbattalion.org. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially concerning the geneaology of the men who served in the unit.
I will be migrating a lot of the stuff from Spaight's Battalion Reenactors, Inc from www.confederateveterans.com over to the new site. It may take awhile so be patient.
I am working on putting some of Col. Spaight's papers on the site.
