Research at the Texas State Library & Archives: Finding the Muster Roll for Benjamin Cox and the Independent Blues

Onsite research is always an adventure. Preparing beforehand helps, but sometimes a kind archivist who knows the records and can navigate the collections is your best chance of finding the record you want. On our recent trip to Texas, I planned a visit to the Texas State Archives and Library in Austin, Texas. My research focused on my fourth-great-grandfather, Benjamin Cox, and finding sources about his service as a Texas Ranger. In this blog post, I’ll share what I found and tips for preparing for an on-site visit.

I live in Texas, and as of early November 2026, a bottle of drain cleaner still looks like the easy answer when the garbage disposal stops turning. I used to think that if food was stuck in there, something that dissolves a clog ought to free it. In my house, that thought is worth stopping before I pour. The state's environmental agency identifies drain cleaner as a corrosive household product; I would be putting that product into an appliance whose jam may still need to be cleared.

Texas shatters early voting record during a midterm election

Before sunrise in Harris County, the line outside a community center already bent around the parking lot. People held coffee cups and folded sample ballots, shifting their weight as the sky lightened. By the time poll workers unlocked the door, the queue had the feel of a holiday morning rather than an ordinary weekday in late October.
