I recently found a reference to a Company H of Flippin's Battalion, which indicates the existence of at least eight companies. Here is a list of seven of the captains, as cited in various pension applications:
Capt. Tyler
Capt. Cobb
Capt. Pickett
Capt. Evans
Capt. Moore
Capt. John J. Hall
Capt. John G. Mastain
One pension application cites service in Flippin's Battalion of "Home Guards", which might be the actual nature of this command.
