Tony,

Thank you, that makes sense. John R. Diamond had a Blacksmith shop on his
horse ranch and it was the second stop in Texas for the Butterfield
Overland Mail Stage on its way to San Francisco. Being a Wagonmaster was
in
keeping with what he did for a living. Before the war he was running a
regular
freight line to Jefferson , Galveston and back to Whitesboro.

John Roberson Diamond later became a Lt. Col. with Bourland Texas Calvary
Regiment, sometimes called the Border Regiment.
