Notes for Jose Marion David Pounds: SOURCE: Ballenger, Jerry. 'Confederate Soldiers Descended from Joseph M. Ray' 'In August 1864, Eliza Jane Wyatt, granddaughter of Joseph M. Ray, married the disabled Confederate veteran, Joel Marion David Pounds [in-law], whose last service in the Confederate Army was in I Company, 22nd Texas Infantry Regiment, the same company in which Perry Ray served. Pound's identification with the Ray clan was further enhanced after the war when his sister, Elizabeth Acenith Pounds, married Eliza's younger brother, William David Wyatt, also an alleged Confederate veteran. Pounds' military service is quite complex in its details. He first enlisted at Tyler, Texas on December 26, 1861 in 1st Company F, 13th Texas Regiment--also known as the Brazoria Coast Regiment. He was about 24 years old. In April 1862, he re-enlisted at Valesco, Texas and was transferred to 2nd Company D, 15th Texas Infantry. This regiment marched all over Arkansas and Louisiana, but the records does not indicated how long he remained a member. His record with the 15th ends in June 1862 and does not resume until January 1864, when he suddenly emerges as 4th Corporal in I Company, 22nd Texas. Pounds and Perry Ray took part in the battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill in Louisiana on April 8-9, 1864 as part of Walker's Texas Division, and Pounds was wounded at Pleasant Hill--too disabled to return to service before the war ended. Not only was he disabled, his first wife [Roxanna Shelton] had died leaving him with a small child [Manda] to care for. It was under these circumstances that he married Eliza Wyatt. Pounds surrendered to Federal authorities probably in Tyler after the war.'
