roster of Whitfield/Ross Cav Bde

Does any one have or know where to locate the roster of the F & S of Whitfield / Ross Texas Cavalry Brigade. Ordered into existance after the Batle of Corinth in November 1862. Whitfield officially commanded the brigade until late 63 when Ross took command. Whitfield was of course commander, Ross was Deputy as he assumed command everytime Whitfield was absent. For Holly Springs Raid both were absent and Lt. Col. Broocks of the 27th was probably in command of the brigade and Lt. Col. Griffith of the 6th was in charge of the Raid under Van Dorn's over view. This may have been an ad hoc organization based on need, but someone must have written it down. There would have been colonel deputy, maybe a Lt. Col for ? majors at staff positions of commissary, ordnance, inspector general, and then medical, engineer, bugler, wagon master and other enlisted sgts and privates as assistants. I have the general make upof Hood's Texas Brigade. Any help would be appreciated.
