He was the grandson of Stephen & Nancy
[Betterton] White, who arrived in Houston
county area Jan 1836, coming from Lowndes
Co Al. The Great Grandson of Robert Sr &
Mildred [Whitehead] White, they arrived
in Union Co SC in 1788, from NC.
Stephen grand parents left SC in 1811,
living in Morgan Co GA then Putman, and
by 1830 in Lowndes Co AL, Texas by 1836.
Stephen was a Pvt in the civil war, in the
same unit his brother Calvin was a Sgt. They
both served in Co. B., 13th Texas Regiment
of Cavalry.
The 13th was formed in North Texas,
Mar 1, 1862. Was engaged along the
Ark River, Pine Bluff, and disrupting
supply lines of the Unions at & around
Vicksburg MS. They were charge with
floating timber into the Red River to
prevent Union gun boats from advancing.
The 13th engaged the Union forces in 1864
at Sabine Cross Roads, in a decisive
victory against the Federal forces. They
charged into Camden, and pursued Union
General Steel whose army fled the
onslaught of the Confederate forces, they
chased them and bottled necked them at
Jenkins Ferry, but after the Union dis-
troyed their own supply wagons, The Yankee's
successfully excaped to Little Rock & back
to New Orleans, never again, and until
the end of the war did the Union make
another attack on the Texan's, and thus,
East Texas was spared the burnings of
their towns, as Sherman forces had done
through out the South. Because of the ex-
perience of Texas soldiers, fighting, the
indians, War of Independence and the
Mexican American war, they were highly
feared by Union forces. The 13th were some
Proud Texan's, and us family researchers in Texas should always remember why we have old records to pick through.
However, it wasn't about us, we honor, our brothers in arms.
