Go to about 1/3 the way down on the page to see an OFFICIAL RECORD explanation to your question. Look of the green "1864 April"
.
1864 April. ... ORsIv34/3[S#63]p800 ... Apr 22, 1864 returns (Bonham TX)
Unattached cavalry, Capt. Arch. McFarland. 2 64 68 93 65
.....(reassigned Dec 1864 from Bourland's Regt to P.C. Hardeman's 1st TX Cav.)
.
I concentrate on the last 1-1/2 years of the War, which means I work from fragmented records. Please send me any and all tidbits of data about the North and West Frontier so that I can try to put it in context. ..This is the only way Texas history will be compiled.
