I am in need of a VA researcher to find any data on William Mansfield Mahone I know very little about him except where he was born; where he moved to; who he married Would and could someone please help with research in VA
Known facts: William Mansfield Mahone, Born 15 Nov 1804 In VA (county unknown). Came To Cass Co, TX about 1840, Married Caroline Brooks Collom 14 Sept 1841 in Wavell Colony , Bowie Co/Red River, TX. They had 8 children, all born in Bowie Co, TX before 1859 We think he fought in the Civil War on the Confederate side and was killed during that time but we don't find a good match for his service time, death or burial location.
