Letters To and From Rusk County
From John Anderson to His Daughter 1899From Marvin Anderson to His Mother 1898
Correspondence of James & Patience Black Civil War
An envelope addressed to Laura J McFarland in Mt Enterprise. There is no letter inside, does anyone know who may have sent it? It's from someone
in Company F, Third Regiment, Sibley's Brigade and postmarked in San Antonio, dated Nov 27. The Brigade was in San Antonio at the start of the war in
1861. We think Laura is the daughter of Benjamin Franklin McFarland and Malinda Harle from Tennessee who lived in Rusk County during the 1860 Census.
New Information: The letter was from her soon-to-be husband, James Thomas Royal. (from Connie Townson)
An unfinished letter, probably from Orra Elizabeth Taylor Anderson to person unknown, has some interesting insights into a girl's life.
A letter from W M Ross to his daughter, Kiziah during the Civil War.
