Honestly I have not, but could spend time on it if you are interested. Most of companies like his one were raised under Confederate laws for local defense units. As such they were enrolled for six months only.

On a related subject, in late 1864 the Alabama legislature passed a law providing that state militia commands couldn't serve outside their county of origin. Go figure.
