Did a quick check using Dr Bergeron's Guide to Louisiana Military Units, the 10th Louisiana Cavalry Battalion was organized in January 1864, and reorganized and renumber (18th Battalion) in November 1864. Co C of the battalion was from St James, Acension, and East Baton Rouge Parishes. Went through my copy of Booth's Records (an incomplete listing of CW soldiers from La) and could not find him listed there.
