I am puzzled by the reference to four companies. Found this link from the New York Times

I think three companies were

Mobile Cadets, officers and men serving 23 days between Jan 3 and Mar 2, 1861.
Capt Robert M Sands, age 35, clerk born in Florida, resident of Mobile Ward 6, owner of one slave,
1 Lt John H Higley, age 29, clerk born in Florida, resident of Mobile Ward 4,
2 Lt Charles M Forsyth, age 24, clerk born in Alabama, resident of Mobile Ward 4,
2 Lt Thomas P Brown, age 27, clerk born in Vermont, resident of Mobile Ward 3.

Independent Rifles, officers and men serving 19 days between Jan 3 and Feb 1, 1861.
Capt Augustus Stikes, age 40, custom house inspector born in Prussia, resident of Mobile Ward 7, owner of three slaves;
1 Lt Anton Scheurmann, age 29, shoemaker born in Bavaria, resident of Mobile Ward 7;
2 Lt Ludwig Lippman, age 35, merchant born in Bavaria, resident of Mobile Ward 4;
2 Lt Peter Laffner, age 37, lager beer seller, born in France, resident of Mobile Ward 4.

State Artillery, officers and men serving 29 days between Jan 3 and Feb 14, 1861.
Capt William H Ketchum, age 38, cotton broker born in Georgia, resident of Mobile Ward 4, owner of thirteen slaves;
1 Lt William H Homer, age 38, farmer born in Alabama, resident of Mobile County Southern District, owner of one slave;
1 Lt David Bush, age 32, sail maker born in Maryland, resident of Mobile Ward 6;
2 Lt John Slaughter, age 34, clerk born in Virginia, resident of Mobile Ward 3;
2 Lt John C Yuille, age 39, baker born in Scotland, resident of Mobile Ward 4, part owner of twelve slaves.

Trying to find the fourth company
