**Note: 1897 - Tax List - Lorena Landrum daughter of Lozen & Laura White Landrum, departed this life.

**Note: 1899 - Laura Jane Landrum daughter of Elias & Anne White, departed this life.

**Note: Mary J Landrum is a mystery at this time...

**Note:
Laura Jane Landrum never appears on the poll tax up to and including 1875.
She is involved in property transactions after 1875, so, is still in the area.
The fate of her husband is unknown, as the Bowie County Texas Court
House, burned down in 1889 destroying all court records that would have
recorded his case, in the death of Wm White.

Lozen returned from the War in 1864, married Laura, but appears he
may never have recovered from his experience of war, that, in my
opinion affected his better judgment. As most of us who have been
in the military know, some recover with no problems and others never
recover from the experience.

During this time period of the Civil War, there was no treatment or care
for returning soldiers, and the mental illnesses, that might have occurred.

C. Young, Col. Joseph Murphy Bounds, Col. James J. Diamond, Col. Oles Messick, Lt. Col Robt W Hooks, Lt. Col. Andrew J Meholson, Major Henry F. Bane, Major John N. Magrant, Major B. Puryear. The Regiment served in Arkansas and moved east of the Mississippi River in 1863. Served with 8th Texas Cavalry in Wheelers Corps.
11th TX Cavalry Flag The 8th Texas Cavalry, C. S. A. Flags of Terry's Ranger's In 1861, Texas went to war and called upon the citizenry to defend her. One of the early groups to answer that call was Terry's Texas Rangers. Organized and led by Benjamin Franklin Terry, a wealthy sugar planter from Brazoria, the regiment mustered in at Houston in September 1861 with just over a thousand men. Originally bound for Virginia, the regiment was placed under the command of Albert Sydney Johnston and traveled to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where they elected their officers and officially organized the regiment. The War department in Richmond designated the regiment as the 8th Texas Cavalry. They had been heralded in New Orleans, and all along their route, as "The Texas Rangers." Technically, they may not have been "Texas Rangers," but this point seems to have been lost to people east of the Mississippi. During the war, they were referred to by a variety of names, including: "the 1st Texas Ranger Regiment"; "Wharton's Regiment"; "Harrison's Regiment"; "Cook's Regiment", "Wharton's Rangers"; "The Rangers"; and even simply as "the Texans." Terry's Rangers first charged into battle near Woodsonville, Kentucky, on December 17, 1861. In this relatively small engagement, they suffered the devastating loss of Colonel Terry. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Lubbock was elected to command the regiment, but died of illness before assuming the duty. In his stead, John Austin Wharton was elected to the role. Wharton was eventually promoted to General, as was Thomas Harrison, the man who followed him in commanding the Rangers. The Rangers distinguished themselves throughout the war by their skill and willingness to fight. Because of their abilities, and the arms they carried, they were regarded as a "charging regiment," frequently called upon to act as a form of shock troops. They were engaged at Shilo, and provided the main body of troops for the remarkable charge at Fallen Timbers. They led the way when General Forrest, by sheer audacity, took Murfreesboro from a superior enemy force. At Bardstown, it was the Rangers who led Wharton's Brigade into the mass of Yankee cavalry to carry the day. They fought from horseback and on foot. They traveled hundreds of miles behind enemy lines to raid the enemy's sources of supply and communication. They were called upon time and again to provide pickets and scouts for the Army of Tennessee. Alexander Shannon was a Terry Ranger who hand-picked men from the group to form the notorious Shannon's Scouts. Shannon and his men punished Sherman in his march across Georgia and into the Carolinas. The final charge of Terry's Rangers was at Bentonville, North Carolina, on March 21, 1865, when General Hardee urgently called upon Captain Matthews to check the Federal advance. After nearly four years of hard fighting, a shout was raised once again and one hundred and fifty men, all that remained of this gallant regiment, charged into the blue clad infantry and sent them into a panic-stricken retreat. Even when Johnston surrendered his army a month later, many of the Terry Rangers refused to admit defeat and set off in groups hoping to join Kirby Smith's Army and continue the fight west of the Mississippi. Only when word reached them that his army had broken up did they surrender.

Cass County TX Cass County (Established in 1846 from Bowie County), Texas (named after Lewis Cass) is the home of the oldest continuous working courthouse (built in 1860) in Texas. Linden, Texas is the county seat of Cass County which is located about in the center of the county. Jefferson, TX was the county seat from 1846 to 1852. Marion County split off from Cass County in 1860. Arkansas and Louisiana border Cass County on the east, on the north by Bowie County, on the west by Morris County and on the south by Marion County. County names that Cass has been part of in the past were: Miller Co., AR; Red River County; Bowie County; Cass County; Davis County and back to Cass. It even went under the name of Paschal County for a short spell, before that formation fell through. Some of the lower southeastern parts of Cass was cosidered part of "Neutral Ground" at one time. Cities and towns in Cass County are Atlanta, Avinger, Bivins, Bloomburg, Douglassville, Linden, Hughes Springs, Queen City, Marietta, McLeod, Domino and Kildare.
