Agency History

After the annexation of Texas into the United States, the 1st Legislature provided for an Adjutant General to be appointed by the Governor, in "an Act to organize the Militia of the State of Texas" (April 21, 1846). The duties which fell to the Adjutant General included the issuance of all military orders; the maintenance of records of appointments, promotions, resignations, deaths, commissions, etc.; the receipt of monthly and annual returns, and muster rolls from the various military units; the keeping of the records of general courts martial; and recruitment and enrollment of Rangers and militiamen. The position of Adjutant General was itself reestablished by the Militia Law of February 14, 1860, by which act he also assumed the duties of Quartermaster General and Ordnance Officer of the State.

On February 1, 1861, the delegates to the Texas Secession Convention adopted an ordinance of secession, which was approved by the voters of the state on February 23. In early March the convention reassembled, declared Texas out of the Union, and adopted a measure making Texas one of the states in the newly formed Confederate States of America.

With the Civil War came the reorganization of the office, an act of December 25, 1861 creating an Adjutant and Inspector General, who would also serve as Quartermaster and Commissary General, and Ordnance Officer. Oversight of the 33 Brigades of the Texas State Troops plus the Frontier Regiment fell to this office, just as later Adjutants General would split their time between the Militia and the Rangers (whatever the prevailing terminology). The manpower and supply demands of the Confederate States Army, often conflicting with the needs and desires of the State of Texas, would affect the entire period of the war.

Most of the major battles of the Civil War were fought east of the Mississippi River. Ironically, the last battle of the war was a victory by John S. Ford over Union forces at Palmito Ranch near Brownsville on May 13, 1865, slightly more than a month after Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. General E. Kirby Smith formally surrendered the Trans-Mississippi Department on June 2, and Union forces under General Gordon Granger entered Galveston on June 19, 1865.

Tax-in-kind records, 1863-1865, (bulk 1864),
1.95 cubic ft.
Because of the scarcity of sound currency during the Civil War, the Confederate States government created a method in April 1863 whereby troops could be provisioned without placing an overwhelming burden upon farmers. This tax-in-kind, often called the tithe or tenth, included the following commodities: grain (corn, wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, rice); forage (hay and fodder); potatoes (Irish and sweet); peas and beans; wool; cotton; sugar and molasses; tobacco; and bacon. The tax-in-kind was delivered to a regional depot; the depot agents would in turn see that the tithe was properly distributed to the troops. Nearly all of the tax-in-kind records found in the Texas State Archives pertain to the 2nd Congressional District, which was divided into 18 depots, representing the following counties: Austin, Bastrop, Bell, Brazoria, Burleson, Burnet and Lampasas, Caldwell, Colorado, Fayette, Ft. Bend, Jackson, Lavaca, Matagorda, Milam, Travis, Washington, Wharton, and Williamson. The Post Quartermaster in charge of these tax-in-kind transactions was Captain George C. Rives, who was headquartered in Austin. See pages 43-52 of James L. Nichols' The Confederate Quartermaster in the Trans-Mississippi (1964).
These records consist of receipts and reports of articles received as tax-in-kind, lists of delinquent taxpayers who owe tax-in-kind (including one oversized list of 602 taxpayers from Fayette County, June 28, 1864), plus requisitions and other quartermaster documents that directly involve the disposition of articles received as tax-in-kind. They date 1863-1865 (bulk 1864).
There is also a volume that contains an assortment of tax-in-kind records from George C. Rives' office, including abstracts, reports of persons and articles employed and hired, tax-in-kind reports, and monthly summary statements. A note on page 164 of the volume states: "From this page on to the end of the volume defaced by carpet bag soldiers who had this records in their possession."
