Eric,,,From September 64 to January 65,that portion of the 9th Battalion with Hood was under the command of Forrest and most likely in Chalmer's Brigade perhaps attached to Jake Biffle's regiment.In mid Jan.,those detachments who had previously been in Wheelers command prior to Hood's raid were ordered back to Wheeler and the Army of Tennessee.This particular detachment(a portion of the 1st Tn and 9th Batt) were near Henry Courthouse,Va.when their paroles were dated at Charlotte May 3,1865 as part of Wheelers Corps,Ashby's Brigade.

The surrender terms we basicaly the same as Grant had given Lee earlier.The officers to be givin individual paroles and the regimental or company officers to sign a like parole for the men of their commands.The enlisted men of Co.G may then have traveled to Charlotte to locate their paroles which had been filled out with their names and signed by their officers.Of course many did not and some took off for Tennessee.A few state they were discharged in mid May on the way home.

It is unfortunate that Garrett could not locate any personal info on your Bonds. Here is a fascinating example of some other comments:
