		Note:
		1860  Walker Co Census 
		William H White 
		s/o Tilman Sr, is not on the 1860 census 
		in any of the surrounding counties, and not with the family. 
		He married Cornelia Iden in 1861.  My theory is, the Civil War 
		was coming, locals were being recruited and placed in  
		training camps, I suspect that is the case here... Wm may  
		have been in training.  Still Looking...

             One

             born

             they 
		may have died before the 1870 census.
		
		
        1870 Census Tilman's 2 youngest 
		Mary F and Amilda White, 
		1.  Mary F White would be 18 yrs old - is not with the 
		family in 1870 
     she may have married? 
		2.  Amilda White would have been 15 yrs old, and is not on 
		the 1870 
     or with any of the her siblings, they married that 
		young in those days. 
		**I would guess both Mary and Amilda died before the 1870 census, a

										FOURTH TEXAS INFANTRY. 
										     The Fourth 
										Texas Infantry was one of the three 
										Texas Civil Warqv 
										regiments in the Texas Brigade of Gen. 
										Robert E. Lee'sqv 
										Army of Northern Virginia. In 1861 
										Governor Edward Clarkqv 
										established a camp of instruction on the 
										San Marcos River in Hays County. The 
										first units that later formed the Fourth 
										Texas Infantry enlisted there in April 
										1861. Originally the Texans planned to 
										enlist for a period of one year, but 
										after the outbreak of war at Fort Sumter 
										on April 12, 1861, the Confederate 
										government announced that it would 
										accept only regiments enlisted for the 
										duration of the war. In July 1861 twenty 
										companies of Texas infantry were 
										transferred to a camp near Harrisburg 
										and promptly shipped to Virginia. Soon 
										after their arrival in Richmond the 
										Texas units were officially organized 
										into regiments, on September 30, 1861. 
										The ten companies that made up the 
										Fourth Texas were Company A, the 
										Hardeman Rifles, recruited in Gonzales 
										County; Company B, the Tom Green Rifles, 
										Travis County; Company C, the Robertson 
										Five Shooters, Robertson County; Company 
										D, the Guadalupe Rangers, Guadalupe 
										County; Company E, the Lone Star Guards, 
										McLennan County; Company F, the Mustang 
										Grays, Bexar County; Company G, the 
										Grimes County Grays; Company H, the 
										Porter Guards, Walker County; Company I, 
										the Navarro Rifles, Navarro County; and 
										Company K, the Sandy Point Mounted 
										Rifles, Henderson County.

		13th Texas Cavalry Regiment
		
		The Thirteenth Texas Cavalry mustered on 22 February 1862 in 
		northeast Texas and 1 March 1862 in the southern counties. Both Colonel 
		John Howell Burnett, the regimental commander, and Anderson Floyd 
		Crawford, the second in command, had resigned from the Texas Senate in 
		January. Counties represented in the unit were Henderson, Anderson, 
		Houston, Cherokee, Leon, Trinity, Angelina, Polk, Tyler, Jasper, Newton, 
		Hardin, and Newton. The initial strength of the regiment was 1,125 
		officers and men, but was reduced to 842 primarily as a result of the 
		Confederate Conscription Act of 16 April 1862, which exempted men under 
		eighteen or over thirty-five, and required that units undergo 
		reorganization and a reelection of officers. The reorganization took 
		place at Porter's Springs, Houston County, on 24 May 1862. On 7 June 
		1862 the regiment, along with Major Robert Simonton Gould's 6th Texas 
		Cavalry Battalion, departed for Arkansas. Brig. Gen. Henry Eustace 
		McCulloch delayed them north of his headquarters in Tyler, Texas for 
		training and to allow stragglers to rejoin the unit. They departed for 
		Little Rock on 2 July 1862.  
		The regiment was delayed in Lafayette County, Arkansas, by an 
		epidemic of measles and typhoid fever. They were initially camped near 
		Spring Bank, but moved later to a camp near Walnut Hills. The 13th lost 
		thirty men to disease during July and August. The Texans continued on to 
		Little Rock, leaving Walnut Hills on 22 August 1862 and arriving in 
		Little Rock 6 September 1862, and proceeding north to Camp Holmes where 
		they arrived on the ninth.  
		The regiment was added to the first brigade of a newly organized 
		Texas division commanded by Brigadier General McCulloch. In October 1862 
		three brigades of the division engaged in a number of pointless 
		movements along White River. Heavy rains and freezing weather resulted 
		in significant illness due to exposure. The division returned to Camp 
		Nelson, near Austin, Arkansas, on 14 October 1862. An epidemic of 
		typhoid fever, pneumonia, and tuberculosis soon broke out. The 13th 
		Texas was reduced by deaths and disability discharges from 855 in June 
		1862 to 615 at the end of February 1863. November 1862 was the worst, 
		with twenty-five deaths. Due to conditions in Arkansas, rations were 
		limited and of poor quality.  
		Shortly after Christmas of 1862, Major General John George Walker 
		replaced Brigadier General McCulloch as division commander. McCulloch 
		assumed command of the third brigade. The division was ordered to Pine 
		Bluff, Arkansas in early January 1863. On the 11th Walker received 
		orders to reinforce Arkansas Post, a fortress defending the Arkansas 
		River. After a forced march, it was learned that the Post had 
		surrendered on the twelfth. Union General William T. Sherman reported 
		that 4,791 prisoners, many from the fourth brigade of the Texas 
		division, had been captured. The 13th and other regiments of Walker's 
		Division were directed to construct defensive earthworks near Pine Bluff 
		to counter the threat that Union forces would continue up the Arkansas 
		River.  
		Snow and freezing weather plagued the regiment, who lost 1st 
		Lieutenant George Gaston of Company D and Private John Mitchell of 
		Company K to exposure. The Union threat did not materialize, and the 
		division was moved into winter quarters near Pine Bluff at Camp Mills 
		and later Camp Wright, four miles northwest of Pine Bluff.  
		The remainder of the winter of 1862-1863 was warmer, and the regiment 
		was resupplied with tents, blankets, and clothing. During February and 
		March 1863, many soldiers of the 13th were convinced that their 
		enlistments were concluding, unaware that they had made a commitment to 
		a three-year enlistment during the reorganization. Desertions were a 
		serious problem during the spring. The 13th Texas followed the division 
		to Louisiana on 26 April 1863 as part of an attempt to relieve the Union 
		threat to Vicksburg.  
		The movement of Walker's Division to Louisiana caused Union General 
		Nathaniel Banks to withdraw from Alexandria, where the 13th arrived on 
		28 May 1863. Confederate Major General Richard Taylor was directed to 
		attack a chain of Union logistical bases on the west bank of the 
		Mississippi that supported Grant's siege of Vicksburg. The 13th Texas 
		was detached from the division and assigned to Brig. Gen. Paul Octave 
		Hebert for operations against the Federal camps at Lake Providence, 
		Louisiana, north of Vicksburg. The action involved the 13th Texas, the 
		13th Louisiana Partisan Cavalry, and one section of artillery. After 
		building a floating bridge on Bayou Macon near Caledonia, the force 
		encountered elements of the 1st Kansas Mounted Infantry near Bunch's 
		Bend, skirmishing with the Union forces and capturing a number of supply 
		wagons and prisoners. The attack on Lake Providence on 9 June 1863 was 
		indecisive, and Federal forces prevented a battle by destroying the 
		bridge on the Tensas River. The 13th Texas had one killed, Sgt. Carlisle 
		McClung of Company F, and two Privates and one Lieutenant captured. The 
		Texans returned to the rail yard at Delhi to wait for the remainder of 
		the division..  
		The remainder of 1863 was uneventful for the 13th Texas, marked by 
		picket duty on the Red River near Cheneyville, Opelousas, and 
		Marksville, and on the Mississippi south of Simmesport in December. The 
		division moved into winter quarters in late December one mile south of 
		Fort DeRussy and two miles north of Marksville. The winter was spent 
		improving the defenses of the fort and constructing a raft of floating 
		timber on the Red River to prevent Union gunboats from navigating the 
		river. Company E, commanded by Capt. James Brown Rounsaville, was 
		detached to the garrison at Fort DeRussy.  
		A major campaign against Confederate forces in Louisiana was launched 
		by Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks 13 March 1864. His combined force of 
		soldiers and sailors numbered nearly 40,000. Between that date and 4 
		April 1864, the 13th and Walker's Division withdrew to a few miles north 
		of Mansfield on the road to Shreveport. Fort DeRussy withstood the 
		Federal attack for only a few hours on 14 March 1864. The majority of 
		Company E, 13th Texas, escaped, but five soldiers were captured. Units 
		from Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri augmented Major General Taylor's 
		forces near Mansfield in early April. A major battle with Banks' 
		invasion force was fought a few miles south of Mansfield at a site known 
		as Sabine Crossroads. It was a decisive Confederate victory, and Federal 
		forces withdrew the night of 8 April 1864 to positions near Pleasant 
		Hill. The 13th Texas lost ten killed, forty-one wounded, and six missing 
		in the battle of Mansfield on 8 April 1864 and the battle of Pleasant 
		Hill the following day. Pleasant Hill was a much deadlier conflict, 
		since Union lines were heavily fortified with barricades of logs and 
		fence rails. Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, commanding the 13th Texas, 
		lost two horses that day. Union forces retreated the night of the ninth 
		to Grand Ecore on the Red River, pursued by Confederate cavalry.  
		A second invasion column, commanded by Union General Frederick 
		Steele, had pushed south from Little Rock and had occupied Camden, 
		Arkansas. Steele's forces had originally intended to join those of 
		General Banks in Shreveport. Walker's Division and the 13th Texas 
		marched north on the military road from Shreveport to Camden, arriving 
		at Camden, which had been abandoned by Steele, on 28 Apr. 1864. Due to 
		chronic health problems Colonel Burnett had been transferred to garrison 
		duty in Crockett, Texas and resigned 22 Apr. 1864. Walker's forces 
		continued the pursuit of Union forces to Jenkins' Ferry on the Saline 
		River, where a battle was fought in rain and mud as Steele's forces 
		attempted to retreat across the river. The outcome of the battle was 
		indecisive and costly to the Confederates. The 13th Texas was among the 
		more fortunate in the division, with only one killed and eleven wounded.
		 
		Following the battle of Jenkins' Ferry, the division withdrew to 
		Camden, where they improved the defensive positions along the river. 
		Returning to Louisiana, they found that General Banks' forces had 
		already withdrawn, leaving Simmesport for New Orleans on 21 May 1864. 
		Maj. Gen. Walker was replaced as division commander temporarily by Brig. 
		Gen. Wilburn King, and later, on 4 September 1864 by Maj. Gen. John H. 
		Forney. Plans to deploy Walker's Division across the Mississippi to join 
		a new command of General Taylor caused much dissention and many 
		desertions. The plan was abandoned later that month, and the division 
		returned to Arkansas to counter a Federal threat, which never 
		materialized.  
		The 13th Texas and Walker's Division returned to Louisiana at the end 
		of November 1864 and moved into winter quarters near Minden, Louisiana. 
		The Texans moved camp to Shreveport on 27 January 1865, and were honored 
		by a huge barbecue on Saturday, 18 February 1865. Ordered to return to 
		Texas, they arrived at Camp Groce, near Hempstead, Texas, on 15 April 
		1865. Most of the 13th Texas Cavalry was home on leave when Generals 
		Kirby Smith and John Magruder surrendered the Trans-Mississippi forces 2
