Hi Margaret,

I believe this man is a member of Lumsden's Alabama Artillery which was a part of Robertson's Artillery Battalion, which was a part of the Reserve Artillery, Army of Tennessee.

Lumsden's official designation was 2nd Artillery Battalion, Company "F".

I believe the information from the pension is incorrect or a transcription error, as to the number of years he had lived in Texas. Both Robertson's Battalion and Company "F" (Lumsden's Battery), 2nd Artillery Battalion (Robertson's) were the same Alabama unit.

Horace W. Martin is mentioned several times in the book, "A HISTORY of LUMSDEN’S BATTERY, C. S. A." by Dr. George Little and Mr. James R. Maxwell.
