Alan,
I have compaired the list of units you supplied with a list of my own. All of the units that you listed match up perfectly with mine. I had no record of Brewer's Cavalry Battalion, or of the Louisana Mounted Rangers; however, and according to the list that I have, there were a few more units present. Also included in my records are:
5th Missouri cavalry- (?)
6th Mississippi (?)- Col. Barnum
12th Mississippi Infantry- (?)
28th Mississippi Infantry- (?)
(?) Mississippi Infantry- Col. B. Williams
(?) Mississippi Battery- Abbey (?)
(?) Mississippi Cavalry- Col. Miller
12th Tenn Infantry- Col. Russell
13th Tenn Infantry- Col. Alfred Vaughn (?)
25th Tenn Infantry- Biffle (Lieut. Col. ?)
(?) Tenn Cavalry- (Haywood Rangers ?)- (?)
7th Tenn Cavalry(parts)- Neely & Haywood's
(?)Battalion of Tenn Cavalry- Col. Logwood
Two KY companies of the 3rd KY Inf.- Capts. Holt & Outlaw
Parts of the 7th Kentucky (?) & 12th Kentucky (?)

I also have both the 22nd and 27th Tenn. Infantry listed with seperate Colonels. Col. T.J. Freeman of the 22nd TN &
Col. C.H. Williams of the 27th Tenn Infantry. Could you clarify if both of these men served as Cols. at one point or anohter? Was this indeed the same regiment?
Do you know anything more (or know where I could find anything more) on Capts. Bowie & Faulkner and their Alabama Cavalry companies?
Also, where could I find more information on the Alabama & Mississippi companies from Martin's 1st Miss. Valley regiment?
Agian, any futher information would be greatly appreciated. I feel as if I can not thank you enough! I realize that it being the Hollidays and all you may not be able to reply for some time. I will await any further assistance that you would be willing to offer.
Very Sincerely (and most grateful!)
Daniel Allen Lonsway (Old Dan)
