John Surratt, Jr.

[Wesley Harris]

Has anyone researched the 'other' Surratt son, Isaac? I was browsing fold3.com tonight and saw the 1860 census for the family. It was the first I'd heard of Isaac. He was three years older than John.

With some quick research I found he served in the 33rd Texas Cavalry. After the war, he went with most of his unit into Mexico. When that didn't work out, he went to Europe where he was residing when the assassination occurred. He apparently wasn't aware his mother was executed until he returned to the USA.
