He was given rations on October 24, 1862, per one record (not that it was the only time, we hope!) He was absent, sick, for the 1862 Muster Roll (Were they bad rations?). The April 30, 1863 Muster Roll remarks read: "Deserted Dec. 1/62." No further records.

James White  Was a member of the Texas Militia unit. He reportedly was enlisted by Captain Hill on July 29, 1861 at Fort Washita as a substitute for private Jim McCammish, who was discharged. His name is on the list accompanying the July 27, 1861 claim. He was owed $59.13 at that time. That claim list has “Discharged” next to his name. He evidently claimed pay for McCammish. His age is recorded as 20 years on the second State Muster Roll.

White mustered into the Confederate States Cavalry Service with this Company on October 2, 1861 at Camp Reeves, in Grayson County, Texas. Major George W. Chilton of the 3rd Texas Cavalry was the Mustering Officer. He was present until "Absent on Extra duty as Teamster, Gen. Wharton's H. Qrs. Aug 20/63" noted on December 31, 1863 Muster Roll. The final Muster Roll has a similar statement, except the starting date for extra duty was given as July 1, 1863.

Benjamin F. Young Confederate enlistment is shown as February 16, 1862 at Camp Lubbock and February 28, 1862 at Boston Mountains, Arkansas. He was enlisted by Captain Hill in both citings. Young was captured in Kentucky on September 8, 1862 by a detachment of the 3rd Regiment Kentucky Volunteers (U.S.A.) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel J W. Ridgell.  He was paroled at Loundon, Kentucky and exchanged on September 16, 1862. Evidently, he never returned to the company and was reported as Deserted on October 15, 1862.
