CAPTAIN A. J. NICHOLSON'S COMPANY "F"
By R. Scott Gartin


This Company enrolled in Texas State Troops as a Company of Infantry on June 12, 1861 in Fannin County, Texas. They elected officers and Mustered into Texas service on June 17, 1861. On the 26th of July, 1861 the Company was mounted and changed to Cavalry. Andrew J. Nicholson, of Fannin County, was the first Captain.

On August 28, 1861, 44 privates and 3 officers were discharged. At the time, 32 new troops were recruited. The 2nd Lieutenant, John Stewart, resigned on that date also. The 2nd Sergeant and two Corporals were also discharged on August 28, 1861. The records do not indicate reasons for this change in troops.

State service ended and Confederate States Army service began on October 2, 1861 at Camp Reeves, Texas. At first, the Confederate Regiment designation was 3rd Texas Cavalry in 1862, they became the 11th Texas Cavalry. Captain Nicholson recruited 14 troops from Honey Grove in Fannin County, Texas in February 1, 1862.

Confederate records indicate that 23 soldiers enlisted in or gave residence as Fannin County, Texas. Two soldiers were from Grayson County, Texas. One soldier, each were from Comal County and Red River county, Texas. Six soldiers enlisted in Arkansas in early 1862.

Individual soldier information is shown at the highest rank obtained in the service of the South in this Company. Officers are listed in chronological order. The remaining troops are listed alphabetically in the appropriate section.

Unless it is noted otherwise, the soldiers listed below enlisted and mustered into the service of the Confederate States Army (CSA) on October 2, 1861 at Camp Reeves, near Sherman, Grayson County Texas. This means that as you read information on Confederate records for individuals, if nothing is stated about the enlistment date and location, the soldier went into the CSA at Camp Reeves, Texas on October 2, 1861.

INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF TROOPS
Captains

Andrew J. Nicholson Was a Farmer from Fannin County, Texas before the war. He was born in Arkansas and 34 years old in 1861 (Hale, 1990).

Nicholson was elected Captain of the original Texas State Infantry unit on June 12, 1861 and Mustered into the State Service on June 17, 1861.

The Captain had a receipt/bill from Bonham, Texas, dated June 25, 1861, from the men of his Company for buying guns and ammunition. These materials were purchased from: J. R. Russell & Company. The total charges were $115.39, of which $71.09 was the remaining balance. Captain Nicholson had made the payment. There are 3 notes on the paper that read as follows:

1. All that is collected on these accounts, pay to J. R. Russell & Co.
2. Received on the above account twenty one dollars on August 11, 1862. [signed] W. A. Evans, acts for J. R. Russell & Co.
3. Major Johns, Sir please have the unpaid amounts opposite each individuals name entered as stoppages on the Pay Roll. Merchandise bought of J. R. Russell & C and pay the same to Lieut. W. B. Allen. Aug. 15, 1862. [signed] A. J. Nicholson

He mustered out of the State Cavalry Service as Captain and mustered into the Confederate States Service on October 2, 1861 at Camp Reeves, near Sherman in Grayson County, Texas.

Nicholson was also the Captain of the Cavlary Company at the beginning of Confederate States service. He enlisted many Confederate soldiers in Fannin County who entered the service after the original muster in of October 2, 1861. Several were recruited at Honey Grove in Fannin County, Texas on February 1, 1862. He was elected Lieutenant Colonel on May 8, 1862. However, he was wounded (at the battle of Elkhorn or Corrinth?) and absent at that time, so never reported. His successor as Lieutenant Colonel was Captain J. M. Bounds, of Company "G".

Though Nicholson never made it back to the Regiment to become the Lieutenant Colonel, he continued working for it as is evidenced by the payment request note 3, above.

Thomas Shaw Recruited as a private into the Texas State Cavalry Service on August 28, 1861 along with 31 others for replacement of the 44 privates who were discharged on that date.

Shaw was appointed 2nd Lieutenant on October 2, 1861 in original Confederate organization. Elected as Captain on May 8, 1862. Received clothing from Lieutenant D. D. Porter, A.Q.M. on October 3, 1862 at Franklin, Kentucky. Received more clothing and blankets from same on November 15, 1862 at Loundon, Tennessee. Submitted resignation with the following letter:

Camp near Loundon, Tenn. Nov. 15, 1862
To Gen. S. Cooper - Adj. + Ins. Gen'l C.S.A.
I Thomas Shaw, Capt. of Company (F) Eleventh Regt. Texas Cavalry do hereby tender my unconditional resignation as Captain of said Company on account of protracted illness - Desease known as Chronic Diarrhea which has rendered me unfit for service for the last two months as shown by the Surgeons Certificated herewith accompanying.
Hoping my resignation may be accepted, I remain yours respectfully,
Thomas Shaw, Capt.
Comdg. Co. (F)
11th Regt. Texas Cav.

On the same sheet is:

I Certify that I have carefully examined the above named officer Thomas Shaw of the 11th Regt. Texas Cavalry and find him incapable of performing the duties of his office because of Chronic Diarrhea of long stand. I therefore recommend that his resignation be granted him, that is absolutely necessary for him to go home and recruit his health.
D. B. Burks
Act. Surgeon 11th Regt. Tx. Cavalry

The resignation was approved by General E. Kirby Smith as of November 27, 1862, but he never found out until January. The time of his resignation was about the time the Regiment was transferred from Smith's Army of Kentucky to General W. J. Hardee's Corps of the Army of Tennessee.

On December 22, 1862 Captain Shaw received more clothing and a chop axe from Leiutenant D. D. Porter at Readyville, Tennessee. He participated in the Battle of Murfreesboro as demonstrated by the following letter from the Regiment's commander.

To: Brig. Gen. M. D. Ector
Maj. Gen. J. P. McCown
Headquarters 11th Texas Cavalry
1st Brigade, McCown's Division

Shelbyville, Tenn., Jany 11, 1863
State of Tennessee
Bedford County
I certify that Capt. Thomas Shaw of Company F, 11th Texas Cavalry (now dismounted) which drew his resignation as Captain of said Company on or about the 17th day of November 1862 asked for a leave of absence until his resignation was acted on. This leave of absence was not granted and he continues in command of said company up to the present date and performed effective service in the recent Battle before Murfreesboro. The notice that his resignation was accepted was not received until today and it takes effect from the 27th day of November 1862. It is right in my judgement that he should receive the pay of Captain from the 27th day of November 1862 until the 11th day of January 1863, and I respectfully recommend that he be so paid.
Yours + c
