The Col. Middleton Tate Johnson Camp 1648 of Arlington, Texas was founded in 1993 to provide a presence in the Mid-Cities area for the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Since that time, it has grown from its 14 charter members into one of the most active camps in the North Texas area. |

Membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all male descendants of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces. Membership can be obtained through either direct or collateral family lines and kinship to a veteran must be documented genealogically. The minimum age for membership is 12. Proof of kinship to a Confederate soldier can take many forms. The easiest method is to contact the archives of the state from which the soldier fought and obtain a copy of the veteran's military service record. All Southern state's archives have microfilm records of the soldiers who fought from that state, and a copy of the information can be obtained for a nominal fee. In addition, the former Confederate states awarded pensions to veterans and their widows. All of these records contain a wealth of information that can be used to document military service. The Col. Middleton Tate Johnson Camp has a several genealogists who may be able to assist you in tracing you ancestor's Confederate service. To request genealogical help, contact Camp 1st Lt. Commander Kyle Sims at kylebs62@aol.com |
