George and Charles, As George probably knows there was an asterisk next to Company A Cavalry Battalion of the Waul's Texas Legion specifically listed on Vernon Lockley's Compiled Military Service Records. The following is what the asterisk referred to:

"This Company was known at various times as Captain Thomas' Company, Waul's Legion Texas Volunteers; Captain Rowland's Company and Company A, Cavalry Battalion, Waul's Texas Legion; and as Company A, Wills Battalion Texas Cavalry. Waul's Texas Legion, consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, was organized in May, 1862, under authority given to Colonel Waul by the Secretary of War on March 6, 1862. It was re-organized in October, 1862, and then consisted of a cavalry battalion of six companies, an artillery battalion of two companies, and two infantry battalions of six companies each. After the fall of Vicksburg the cavalry battalion served east of the Mississippi River and still retained the name of Waul's Legion, but it was also known as Willis' Battalion Texas Cavalry. Some of its members, who had become separated from their command and were serving in the Trans-Mississippi Department, organized in 1864, into Steel's Command Texas Cavalry. Company A of the Artillery Battalion was detached from this command some time prior to March 1864, and subsequently became the 1st Texas Field Battery. In January, 1864, the remnant of Company B, Artillery Battalion, was attached to Company A of the 1st Infantry Battalion and it appears to have been transferred the 2nd Texas Field Battery March 28, 1864. The two infantry battalions were consolidated by Special Order number 88, Headquarters, District of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona dated March 23, 1864, and formed Timmons Regiment Texas Infantry."
