By the way, in December 1863 the 1st Confederate Battalion was probably in route from Mississippi to join Joe Davis' Brigade in the Army of Northern Virginia. This command was never a part of the Army of Tennessee. Perhaps you meant the 1st Confederate Cavalry, but the Hankins mentioned in the post beonged to the 1st Confederate Battalion and would have transferred to Dent's Battery at an earlier date.
