Taking this a step further, as a general rule of thumb, if each regiment had four to five wagons and two ambulances, the brigade would have lost upwards of half their wagons at Monterrey Springs. In addition, although the seven African Americans taken captive were described as teamsters, I wonder if they were actually servants - a veteran remarked that it was customary for officer's servants to accompany the wagons on the march. I understood that teamsters were detailed from the ranks and that blacks were not allowed (officially) to serve in this role. Otherwise, what do we make of the fact that Imboden mobilized his teamsters into a fighting force that fended off Yankee cavalry near Williamsport? Regardless, if eight slaves associated with the brigade were captured in this raid, by extrapolating, it could be deduced that O'Neal's brigade train alone might have contained between 15-25 such slaves, as a rough estimate. We have mentioned the servants of Sgt Maj Watson (6 AL) and the brigade QM, both of whom were captured. One more is known to have been on this campaign as well: Reuben, the servant of Capt. William H. May (3 AL), who remained with him all of his life.
