Buried there and later Capt. was re-interned at home- (Beach Cemetery?) (Question from Charles Wyly: Who were the Texas State Troops??? Texas Ranmgers??? some of John R. Baylor's Central Texas Rangers who were sometimes Texas Ranger posses under Col. Buck Barry of Barry and Walnurt Springs- sometimes acting on their own agressively against Indians and some captors found hang without a Trial??? Confederate Home Front "National Guard under a Capt. McDuff- reject from Irish and German Armies?) Second in Command Lt. McRae- honest. McDuff & men sent McRae out scouting in Comfort Texas area while he and men killed peaceful Texas Germans, born in Germany & vets of Abortive Revolution who tried to go to Mexico to avoid the Civil War???? Their wives and kids were put in barb wire stockades near New Braunfels, Texas. With a home front guard like McDuff one did not need enemies. ????? Or were these Confederate troops or yankee troops???? The U.S. Post offices never closed in Texas during the Civil War. I have 2 degrees from University of North Texas and earlier work at Tarleton State University in Stephenville. and I am confused as to which one of the above the Texas State Troops were. Hood's Texas Brigade were prominent in the Civil War in the Eastern States. but they were C>S>A> troops.
