Here is a rough draft of a roster I'm creating of what I'm terming Well's Tx Commands. It is a transcription of the CSRs for Well's Tx Bn (which includes Scanland's Sqd & Gillette's Co.), Well's Tx Rgt and Good's Tx Bn. Unfortunately, the CSRs, especially for Well's Rgt and Good's Bn have a lot to be desired. One day I'm hoping to publish this material and if anyone feels like contributing information on any of the individuals I'd greatly appreciate it. Additionally, I have yet to go through the CSRs for the 1st Choctaw & Chickasaw Rgt which some of the men served in. Other projects are in the forefront. Also, I'll post the entire roster as my work schedule permits.

Aldridge, James: Name appears as a PVT in Co’B’/Wells’ Rgt within a letter appearing with Good’s Bn CSR for Reynolds, T.M. The letter is dated 9 Jul 64 requesting PVT Aldridge be furloughed for 30 days to assist his father in getting his thrasher to work.
