Re: Co. F, 4th TX Mounted Vols, Col James Reillys

I have not been able to locate Captain T. W. Barnett's company or Barnes' Regiment of the Provisional Army of the Confederate States

….

G. Walton, Private, Captain A. J. Scarborough’s Cavalry Company (Davis Guards),* his name appears on a Muster Roll for July , 1861** without comment, no other records

* This company subsequently became Company B, 4th Regiment Texas Cavalry.

The 4th Regiment Texas Cavalry was organized about October, 1861, with ten companies, A to K. It was known as the 1st Regiment Sibley’s Brigade Texas Mounted Volunteers, and as the 4th Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers.

** Company B, 4th Regiment Texas Cavalry, Formerly Capt. A. J. Scarborrough's Cav. Co. (Davis Guards), Company Muster Roll for July, 1861, stationed at Concrate, De Witt Co.

It appears that Capt. Scarborought’s Company was accepted into service mid August 1861 in DeWitt County, your G. Walton was not among those enlisting. There appears no other record of his service elsewhere.
