In doing some genealogy research for a friend, I found that his ancestor, Jeremiah Green, was a captain, commanding Company D of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry Battalion, sometimes called Gantt's Tennessee Cavalry Battalion, a Confederate unit. So far I have been able to find very little regarding this unit's record, such as the campaigns and battles it took part in, it's initial strength,etc., except that it was captured at Fort Donelson in 1862 and fought under Wheeler during the defense of Atlanta. Any information that anyone can give me about this battalion, and/or Company D, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
