I believe he served in A. J. McNeill’s 19th Louisiana Cavalry Battalion, later the 4th Louisiana Cavalry Regiment.

If the census record is his, he enlisted as a 17 year old Conscript September, 1863.

There are no company muster rolls found in the Compiled Service Record file for McNeill’s regiment, hence, we will not be able to validate Maxwell’s service through these records.
