Davenport's Battalion

The Alabama Archives has a file on Hardie's Cavalry Battalion with the note that included is "also Barbiere's and Davenport's Cavalry Battalion". There is also another "Davenport's Cavalry Company" file which is probably related. I checked the roster of Hardie's Battalion and found a William Rice; since relatives often joined the same unit, it's possible that Adam Rice was originally here, too. In any case, it does appear that Davenport's Battalion was an organized unit and that it was related to Hardie's and Barbiere's Battalions. The answer is probably in those files. If someone would visit and report back to the list...
