TEXANS WHO WORE THE GRAY by Sid S. Johnson 
T. R. FREDDELL

Theophilus B. Freddell, of Denison, a veteran of Ector's Texas 
Brigade, was born in Newton county, Ga., January 19, 1840, and 
removed to Texas in 1859.  He enlisted at Pine Hill, Rusk county, 
in Major R. P. Cump's battalion that formed into the Thirty second 
regiment, commanded by Col. Andrews.  Young Freddell was made 
orderly sergeant of his company.  He first felt the shock of 
battle at Elkhorn and then crossed the Mississippi and participated 
in the many engagements that made Ector's brigade so famous in the 
Army of Tennessee.  The last fight in which young Freddell was 
engaged was at Spanish Fort, near Mobile, and this battle was 
fought after the surrender of Gen. Lee.  He was paroled at Meridian, 
Miss.  On January 16, 1866, he was married to Miss Malinda J. 
Little, of Rusk county.
