We have copy of an interesting document which I will try to scan & get it on here: Miles' application for pension from the Confederate Service\ Frontier Regiment 5-3-1915 Austin Texas, was witnessed by: J. H. Holder, Will Townsley (Holder & Townsley were Miles Cantrell's son in laws.), Thomas Bingham (age 72) & Lucinda Bingham (she swore she was age 105). Miles served from fall of 1862 to April 1865 mostly in Kinney & Uvalde Counties Texas near Fort Clark & the Nueces River. Serving under Capt. Edgar & Col. McCord. As early as 1837 some of these families had migrated together to Fannin County, Texas from Kentucky down through Arkansas. In the 1860's William Cox, Jr. and Miles Cantrell fought Indians together in Uvalde and Kinney Counties. About 1890s William & Margaret Ann Whitaker (sp Whittaker) Cox lived near Reagan Wells & so did the Binghams. These families have been 'inner-twined' for over 180 years. Very interesting links: Stodgel/Ryan Bible pages with family births, deaths, obits; 1894 Letters Re: Mr.Braswell/Nusom of Hearne, TX; PARKER Wagon Train 1833; Rev. Gottlieb Langner, Brenham, TX; Texas in the Civil War Message Board. |
