In Response To: T.D.C. Regiment ()

Saw your post and will see if I can help.
The 20th Tenn Cav and Inf fought in the Army of Tennessee.
In Crute's "Units of the Confederate States Army" pg 336 there is:
20th (TEXAS) Cavalry Regiment, recruited in Hill County, TX, was organized during the spring of 1862 with about 850 officers and men. The unit was assigned to Cooper's and Gano's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and primarily confronted Federals in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma, VR) It was included in the surrender of the Indian troops at Doaksville on June 23, 1865. The field officers were Col. Thomas C. Bass, Lt Col Andrew J. Fowler and T.D. Taliaferro, and Majors Dempsey W. Broughton and John R. Johnson.

Also found this which list him as being from Kaufman Co, TX, 26years old, born in TN, and a blacksmith.

I think T.D.C. stands for "Texas Dismounted Cavalry"
Maybe someone else will chime in and confirm this.
Hope this helps.
