Early war Tennessee Confederate rank insignia

Can anyone point me to any sources regarding early war Tennessee Confederate rank insignia and uniforms? To give an example of exactly what I'm talking about, during this time period a captain had 3 stars on each side of the collar like the later Confederate regulation colonel. Also, around the bottom of the collar was a single line of gold braid.

An example is Captain (later Major)Philip Van Horn Weems viewed at our website:
