Henry Clay Yeakey 2nd Kentucky Cavalry Info

Henry Clay Yeakey is a 5th Cousin of mine who was supposed to have served in a confederate unit. Have a geneologist aunt who reports a Missouri newspaper [Huntsville Missouri Times 1914] which lists him as a member 1st Kentucky Cavalry but did an open browser search and found a website that details that he was in Company B of the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. Dates match up in Aunt's anecdote and the website. He began service at age 15 [from Aunt and website]. Not sure which 2nd Kentucky he served in [Morgan's/Dukes] or Woodward's. Wondered if anyone has reference materials to tell me if I am starting to track a man who actually served. Any help greatly appreciated.
