ROSTER UPDATES:

We are in the process of a major revision and update to the Roster section. We are converting the existing entries to the expanded format that includes census information, genealogical information on parents, siblings, spouses, and children, and anything else we can locate. You can see Fenton A. Bott's page for an example. If you have an ancestor who served in Terry's Texas Rangers please contact us to see how you might be able to assist us in this effort.
