I am researching the activities of Col. Jay Vanderpool while he was coordinating guerrilla activities in SW Luzon, particularly the Province of Batangas, for a historical paper. I was wondering if you may know where I can find digitized files of Col. Vanderpool. I understand his documents are archived in an Army base in DC, but since I'm at the other side of the world, I desperately need to find digitized copies of these. I may be reached at batangashistory@gmail.com.

He was born in Texas in the 1860s. When he was a young boy, he was captured by Comanches. The Comanches traded him to Apaches. He escaped when he was grown. I don't know who he married or the names of his children. His father was Henry Smith, Marshall of San Antonio and Texas Ranger. His grandfather was Major John Short who emigrated to Texas to fight in the Revolution.

I do believe you'll find it leads to the Confederate side of the Civil War. If my supposition is right, there is lineage directly to Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy. If you find that to be true... we are related! ;) ~ Blessings to you and yours... Enjoyable read! :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03813853228286445759noreply@blogger.com
