CHAPTER VI - DRESDEN'S TEXAS CAVALRY COMPANY - COMPANY I, 19TH TEXAS CAVALRY REGIMENT (see Leonard Williams, Jr. for regimental history)

Williams, L.M., age 16.  He enlisted October 22, 1861 at Virginia Point, probably Texas.  He was 5'8" tall, had a fair complexion, gray eyes and brown hair.  He was a stock raiser and was born in Texas.

1880 HILL CO. TEXAS CENSUS IN PCT. 5, P. 380, HOUSEHOLD 123

Lee, Sallie, William, Aaron, Green and Fanny Hutchison age 15 listed as cousin as well as Elisha Estes, age 21 (believe this might be Elisha Packwood-son of Travis Packwood and Thursa Estes)

Per Buck's pension from the Texas State Archives, Buck was discharged at Richmond, Texas and not Virginia as many thought.  I believe he likely never fought in Virginia because his service was in Granbury's brigade and also in the 19th Texas Cavalry.
