Seventh Texas Mounted
Volunteer Cavalry Regiment
Company H from Houston
County, Texas
Roster as of September 17,
1861
The
following information was
submitted by: Tim
Hashaw
This is only one cavalry
company and does not include
infantry companies, battery
companies, etc which also
came from Houston County.
The roster reflects only
those names which started
with the outfit in 1861 and
does not include later
recruits from Houston County
as the war progressed. A
company was expected to
maintain full-size in the
aftermath of casualties and
there were a LOT of
casualties and many new
recruits in this regiment.
If your veteran from this
company is not llisted, it
may be because they became a
part of the unit later in
the war.
Four regiments accompanied
Col Sibley in the New Mexico
campaign:
2nd Regiment Texas Mounted
Rifles
4th Regiment Texas Mounted
Vol
5th Regiment Texas Mounted
Vol
7th Texas Mounted Vol
In
addition to the Houston Co
company with the 7th Texas
Mounted Volunteer Cavalry
Regiment, Houston County
also supplied a company for
the 4th Regiment, and a
company for the 2nd Regiment
Texas Mounted Rifles.
Those looking for more
information should refer to
the source book "The
Confederate Army in New
Mexico" by Hall,
Presidial Press University
of Texas, Austin, 1967. It
has personal stories of many
of these Houston County men.
