<<Navarro Co., TX. webpage in CSA section---Feb. 2006
<<Warren, Benajah Private, Enlisted March 24, 1862 in Navarro County, TX. He died in the Texas Hospital in Richmond, Virginia on Aug 14, 1863 of lung trouble. >>
<<General Hospital #25
Also called: Randolph’s Hospital, Texas and Arkansas Hospital. Open as early as March 1862 and as late as July 1863. Capacity about 225, employees 25, in March 1863. Union Prisoners at times. Location: center of block south of Main Street, between Pear and Peach Streets.>>
QUESTION?? Would those who died in hospital in 1863 be buried in Richmond, VA. I can not find evidence of his burial in TX. nor in MS. where his wife & children returned?
Any help appreciated . Thanks

I have information that my grandfather William Alexander Walker and his friend Hobbie Chestnut joined the T.V.G. in 1900. Does anyone have any other information?

This is all I know about this unit. Would appreciate any other information.

Joseph E. Johnson, Captain
Commanding Greenville Rifles
W. M. Strom Company Clerk
John F. Adkisson, Leader 4th Infantry Band (home: Blooming Grove, Texas
B. C. Powell, Notary Public, Commission Expired December 24, 1901

I have a copy of an Affidavit of J. F. Adkisson in reference to loss of Quartermaster's Supplies. At the top of the form "No. 65" is written in and the printed form shows THE STATE OF TEXAS; however, Texas has been crossed out and Arkansas written in; County of Quachita. This Affidavit was executed October 22, 1901. What would the TVG be doing in Arkansas?

I have a copy of the Oath signed by John F. Adkisson on January 15, 1900, joining the Greenville Rifles, Texas Volunteer Guard.
