Bourland's Regiment was accepted into the Confederacy in March 1864 after some had patrolled under his direction, off and on, since February 1863. Many men took turns with their neighbors patrolling the North and West frontier six-weeks at a time while the remaining men tended their families. Most of the Feb 1863 to Mar 1864 records were found in THE BOURLAND PAPERS and family records as illustrated on web page:

Bourland never raised a militia after 1858, as far as I know. He was a Provost Marshal and an enrolling officer on a few occasions.

I have presented the Thomas Davis Williams info and "Pea Ridge" question on web page:

Quoting Clydene Williams:
My 2nd GG Father joined up in Honey Grove, TX in 1861 under Colonel Bourland
in the Civil War.

He marched to the Battle of Pea Ridge in Benton County, AR where he fought
there. I am searching for his unit and records in that Battle. I know it was
common for soldiers to change their regiments, company and units often during
the War and I'm wondering if anyone has a breakdown of the soldier's,
including their units, company or regiments for the Battle of Pea Ridge in
Arkansas.

T. D.'s (aka Thomas and Thomas Davis Williams) Civil War Pension testimony
proves his service under Bourland and that he fought at the Battle of Pea
Ridge, but no regiment, company or unit is mentioned in his records for this
particular Battle.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to research and find this?
