  1. I see listed “s.n webb” My great grand-father rode with Forrest. He was from Weakley County. His name was Sam Houston Webb. Could this be the S.N. Webb that is listed?

  2. C C McDaniel was from Hardeman County. He was the Pastor of Walnut Grove Baptist Church outside of Bolivar. His service with Henderson’s Scouts documented in his NARA files and newspaper articles from post war reunions
