Pvt. J. L. Weaver has been reported as being a member of Henderson Scouts. He may not have been with the unit the day these men reported to muster.
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?
