Thanks Larry. I'll do a little more looking for info on Barnes and Hendricks. Hendricks' pension record may have more info. It wouldn't be surprising they were somehow affiliated with the Choctaw or Choctaw & Chickasaw regiments, but like you said, we haven't encountered proof. I'll check Patti Rochette's book. They were probably originally in Texas State Troops units if not directly in the 1st Choctaw & Chickasaw.
