To Charles Wyly, I know you wrote a lengthy explanation of the different types of Texas Rangers. I'm sure that I saved it, but not sure where. Can you please tell me about when you sent it so maybe I can find it by date. My gg grandfather George B. Ely was known in family tradition as the "one-eyed Texas Ranger." I have just received a copy of his application for a Confederate pension from the Texas State Archives. He based his application on his duties defending the state against "Indian Raiders and Mexican marauders," from 1863 to the end of the war. Thank you very much for any information you can share.
