Captured at Ft Gibson; released Leavenworth Kansas

Questions: Does anyone have records that show:
.
1) that Captain W.A. Beard's Company I of Wells' Battalion was taken into custody in April 1865 by Union General J.J. Reynolds at Fort Gibson?
.
2) that Captain W.A. Beard's Company I was released in June 1865 at Fort Leavenworth, KS?
.
More info on Captain Beard's Company I can be found in the Wells' Battn Roster:

quoting Thomas R. Allen in his TX CSA Denton Co TX pension application #38092
.
“... I enlisted in October 1861 and surrendered ... to General Reynolds of the U.S. Army at Ft. Gibson in April 1865 and was released from custody at Fort Leavenworth, KS in June 1865. ...
.
" ... Enlisted in 10/1861. He states that he was 'transferred in 1864 to the CSA, Colonel [W.A.] Beard’s Cavalry regiment, [later] was captured and made a POW' and was a prisoner of war at the time of the war’s end. ..."

Please scan down my rather extensive "Wells' Battn Roster" web page and let me know if you have additions or corrections.
