Re Daniel M Brown from Rusk Co Texas. He is not listed on any Texas rosters,
but his wife and children were listed later as "Indigent dependents of Rusk
Co. soldiers." The commander of the 3rd Tex reenactors kindly checked all
his data with no result.
I have learned that after the ferocious battle, many were put in mass graves
and later removed to Springfield. I find him in none of the cemeteries. I
find no pension for his wife, perhaps because she remarried in 1865 and moved
to Indian Terr. Since family knew where he died, that would mean
notification from his unit. Where would this be recorded? (In 1861 the
unit would be No. Kansas and Tex Rgt, later to be called or merged into 3rd
Tex) The only other option I see is that he was recruited along with many
northeast Texans by Stand Watie and fought at Wilson's. They were mixed
Cherokee. Daniel just might have been also. His wife subsequently married
two Cherokee men. Any advice from all you experienced researchers would be
greatly appreciated. I am a novice, but a relative who is also a CW buff
has looked for 13 years!
