From the same site Ford's Battalion ARKANSAS Cavalry
"This little-known battalion was organized on August 27, 1864. The battalion officers were Lieutenant-Colonel Barney Ford and Major Enoch O. Wolf. It appears to have been organized specifically for Major-General Sterling Price’s Missouri Campaign of September and October 1864. It was assigned to Freeman’s Brigade, Marmaduke’s Division, Cavalry Corps, of Price’s “Army of Missouri.” It may have been disbanded after the campaign in December, 1864. The roster of at least one company of Ford’s cavalry battalion has survived—that of Capt. J. V. Richardson’s Company C. This company was composed primarily of Jackson County men, many of whom had previously served in the 32nd Arkansas Infantry"
MO SOS lists this unit 4 way's Ford's Battalion, Ford's Battalion Cavalry Volunteers CSA, Ford's Battalion Missouri Cavalry, and Ford's Arkansas Battalion. Wolf is not listed in the Missouir records on line.

BATTLE IN SHARP COUNTY “by Maude Shaver White "
From the Arkansas Gazette Sunday Magazine October 3, 1943.
To travelers of state Highway 62-63 into the foothills of the Ozark mountains of northeast Arkansas, there exists a quiet, peaceful and quaint beauty that might have been thus for ages. The stillness of the pastoral scene appears never to have been more disturbed than by the grazing of cattle. Very few inhabitants of Sharp county are aware that the now rolling field that slants down into Martin creek, three miles east of Williford, was, during the Civil war, the site of a well-planned battle and the only battle fought in Sharp county. Here the Federals and Confederates met on February 8, 1864 to fight a battle of which little is recorded in history books.
A living eye-witness of this battle is Mrs. Helen Grove now 92, who as a child of 13, watched the fighting from the window of her home, which was situated on the hill over looking the field where the battle was fought.
On February 6, 1864, the Confedrate army, under the command of Col. Thomas R. Freeman, was located in or near Smithville, Lawrence county, about 40 miles from Batesville. This was a suitable place of encampment while plans were being made for the next attack. To strengthen his force, Colonel Freeman decided to send four prisoners to Batesville to exchange for his own captured men. He carried out this order very successfully, and it is said that while making the exchange in Batesville he made the friendship of a Federal captain and upon departure each asked the other to visit him at the close of the war. This was agreed upon and Captain Wolf went on his way back to Smithville. All would have gone well had not Capt Wolf during his stay in Batesville strategically disclosed the headquarters of his remaining army. ....
