Description An account of the resource Click <a title="Wilco Grays" href="http://civilwar.williamsonmuseumexhibits.org/map/index.html" target="_self">here</a> to see a map of the Wilco Grays' travels.<br /><br />The Williamson Grays were joined for duty and enrolled in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, on October 7, 1861, by Capt. Hiram Mack Burrows. During the course of the war, the company was referred to as Captain Burrows' Company; 7th Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers, Captain Burrows' Company; 3rd Regiment, Sibley's Brigade Mounted Volunteers; and Company C, 7th Regiment Texas Cavalry. The company set out for San Antonio, Texas, and were mustered into the Confederate service at Camp Pickett for &ldquo;3 years or the war" on October 24, 1861. They were the smallest company in the Brigade with 56 men at the outset. They served as part of Steele's Regiment under Colonel William Steele and General H. H. Sibley and formed a portion of Steele's forces which occupied the El Paso-Mesilla area. The Williamson Grays set out from San Antonio for the West on December 18, 1861. They formed a portion of Colonel William Steele's force in the Mesilla-El Paso area, and thus did not take part in the New Mexico campaign proper. They arrived in Arizona around January 21, 1862, and remained there as the rear guard evacuating Confederate Arizona and far West Texas, leaving in July, 1862. After Steele was promoted to Brigadier-General in September, 1862, Company C served under Col. Arthur P. Bagby. In January, 1863, the Williamson Grays, along with the other units under the command of Col. Bagby, participated in the engagement at Galveston. On February 9, 1863, they marched from Houston for Western Louisiana, where they served through the end of the war. The company records are sparse. No muster rolls were found for 1863 or 1865. The only roll for 1864 is dated February 29, 1864. Only one record was found detailing the activities of Company C dated February 29, 1864. There are limited individual records for the last year of the war. The company disbanded June 19, 1865, in East Texas. Several of the young men listed on the roster as being "18" were in fact younger. On the 1860 census, for example, Leonard Edwards, George W. Anderson and William F. Sellers are listed as age 15; Luther Faubion, Hezekiah Nimrod Kirk, and Martin R. Allen, are 16. Many of the members of the Williamson Grays were living in Western Williamson County at the time of the 1860 census, in communities including Bagdad, Rock House, Liberty Hill, Gabriel Mills, Florence and Georgetown.

Title A name given to the resource Tintype Portrait of a Soldier and his Wife Subject The topic of the resource United States -- Texas -- Williamson County. War (Civil War). Description An account of the resource Tintype Portrait of a Soldier and his Wife. These two early photographs are held in a cardboard case and are surrounded by a decorative, gold-colored metal frame. On the side of the man's photograph, the bottom reads, "Constitution and Union", signifying that this was a Union soldier. Also known as a Melainotype, these photographs were images on thin iron sheets. Though thin, they were sturdy and could be used in jewelry or sent in the mail. They were often (as in this case) set within a decorative brass frame. Though they could not be reproduced like other film-based photographs, tintypes were popular because of their affordability.
