My cousin sent me some Civil War pension papers, thank you Carla!!!, and I thought someone may be interested in some of the high lights. J.B. Ratliff J. B. is definitely Joshua Brock, per an enclosed letter in the Pension papers from his daughter, Miss Annie Bernice RATLIFF. Her letter was dated Oct. 29, 1940 from San Marcos, Texas. She states his full name as Joshua Brock RATLIFF, that he was in General DeBray's regiment, Cavalry during the Civil War and that he drew his pension up to 10 years prior to her writing this letter, which was a request for information so she could join the United Daughters of the Confederacy. These papers list him as deceased by Nov. 29, 1930 (pension number 35423) also list him as an applicant of Williamson County, Texas with post office as Liberty Hill, Texas. He was approved on Sept. 30, 1918 with his pension beginning Sept 1, 1918. IN his questionnaire, he lists his age as 83, as of Oct. 4, 1917 and being born in Springfield, Missouri. His occupation was that of Farmer until he became too old, but he states his physical condition is good for his age. He enlisted Sept. 18, 1861 and was discharged May 26, 1865, that he had served in Co. G. 26 Texas Cavalry under Capt. J.J. Myers (later Col. J.J. Myers) Witnesses to his statements were: W. W. Mullen and C. T. Russell, as well as J.L. Davis and L. F. Farrow.
