Perhaps someone will benefit if we add a few dates of promotion and source references:

Young on August 25, 1861. Members mustered at Richmond, Virginia, September 12, 1861, and held elections September 28, 1861. Captain Young was relieved by sentence of a court martial on October 24, 1861. The following day the company was accepted in Confederate service and new elections held. As a result, Toulmin became Captain and the "Sam Cooper Riles" returned to Mobile to join the 22nd Alabama.
