b. 1843
d. 1936

In 1859 the Indians became angry due to their forced moves to reservations and the slaughter of sleeping Caddo Indians four miles north of Golconda, present-day Palo Pinto, Texas. The reservation Indians began numerous raids against encroaching settlers. They inflicted damage and death to area settlers. In 1860 the State of Texas created a regiment of Texas Rangers known as Minute Men for Young County to control the situation. Captain John Cochran was the regiment's commanding officer. Five of the Peveler sons served 12 months in this regiment. They were John, William R., James M., Samuel H., and Francis M. Shortly after their year's service was completed, the Civil War began in 1861. Three of the Peveler brothers enlisted in the army of the Confederate States of America. James M. Peveler served in Morgan's Cavalry Division with brother William R. Peveler serving as captain. Francis M. Peveler completed CSA service with Company F, Harris' Texas Cavalry.
