I found out that Bond and Mount were both in Company A of the 4th battalion, Alabama Cavalry. Bond was a sergeant, Mount a private. Based on an online brief history, the battalion was in Virginia in May (to be merged into the Jeff Davis Legion), which explains the pair's presence in Richmond to sign the affidavit. The unit apparently formed in August and September, 1863, a month before Morehead died. Now the question is, where was this unit in November 1863? We're getting close, Homer, I can feel it!
