My cousin came across this entry and we can't make sense of the acronym "R&F"
The information on William Hardy Bennett appears on the Texas Muster Roll Index Cards, 1838-1900 which states the following:
Bennett, William H., Private
Carter, Asher W., Capt.
Mesquite Light Horse, Dallas, Co.,
13th Brigade., State Troops
Jan 8 - 61 at Dallas, Texas
R&F 50; 1 H; Rifle & Shotgun, found in
post at Dallas; Co tendered to State of Texas,
if accepted, each man desired a good Sharpe's
rifle & an Army Six Pistol; Co. Com. May 21-61
2 MR. dtd. Jan. 12 - 61 & Feb 23 -61. Name not on Feb. 23 -61 MR.
The line includes "1 H" for One Horse. So what does "R&F 50" mean?
Another question: The Mesquite Light Horse eventually became a Confederate unit. Does William Bennett appear in any CS unit?
