MOSBY'S RANGERS
Here at Atoka (Rector's Crossroads), on June 10, 1863, Company "A", 43rd Battalion of Partisan Rangers, known as "Mosby's Rangers", was formally organized. James William Foster was elected captain; Thomas Turner, First Lieutenant; W.L. Hunter, Second Lieutenant; and G.H. Whitescarver, Third Lieutenant. Shortly after, Brawner's company of Prince William Cavalry joined the command.
