Was reviewing some CSRs this evening, and looking at A.B. Archibald's re-read the note at the bottom of the abstract cards which reads thusly in describing McCaa's Rangers:

Some cards list it as Co D, 2 reg't Miss. and Ala Cav., others as Co D, 8 Reg't Confederate Cav. Both have a note:

"This company was formerly Company B, 4th Battalion Mississippi Cavalry, and Company B, 2d (Brewer's) Battalion Mississippi and Alabama Cavalry."

It goes on to describe the formation of the 8th Confederate Cav in May 1862.

Might records of one KIA prior to or at Shiloh be filed under Co B, 4th Miss Cav Battalion or Co B, 2d Battln, Miss and Ala Cav.?
