Hello Mic, I'm trying to recall where I saw the roster of Gould's soldiers who became Company D with Forrest. Such a roster does exist. Of course they were not listed as Company D at the time the roster was made in 1861. I can tell you they were organized in Red River County, Texas and the roster was impressing. I believe I saw it online but can't remember where. There is also somewhere online about the journey of the future Company D going to Memphis, Tennessee. They stopped in Arkansas and made camps many nights and they people were impressed with their horses calling them the finest they had ever saw. I believe it was in or near Memphis, Tennessee that they joined Forrest in late 1861 or very early 1862. The Clarksville, Texas Historical Society (If they have one?) or the Red River County Historical Society (Again if they have one?) may have such a copy of the roster. Perhaps the Clarksville, Texas Library may be of some help.

If I were you I'd touch base with the Dolph-Briscoe Historical Center in Austin, Texas which is part of the University of Texas and see what they may have in regards to your search. They have a lot of information but I don't know all of their holdings.

In regards to the book "The Story of Camp Chase" the author William H. Knauss makes so many mistakes with surnames spelled incorrectly. Some of the stories in the book are just that stories never confirmed and not true. This however is not the case in your area the information is correct as far as I can determine.

I found one of the descendants of Goodlow/Goodloe just outside of Clarksville, Texas many years ago and he was considered to be the family historian and was very old. I ask him if he knew of one of his relatives dying a Camp Chase. He was very sharp and replied that it was not his blood. He explained to me that slaves were bought and sold and the man I was hunting for took the name of Goodloe but so did everyone else that was a slave of Goodloe's. Just because a black man was a Goodloe did not make him a direct descendant of his. It was disappointing but I understood what he was saying. He knew about the Goodloe dying at Camp Chase but noted it was not his kin.

I'm still looking for the grave of Goodloe and others blacks who died at Camp Chase. While it is difficult it is not impossible to locate the graves. When the biographies are over I intend to try and find them.
