"D" Co. TX 27th Cavalry
Private Simpson Newman enlisted January 1, 1862 at Hallettsville, Texas, appointed 4th Corporal May 8, 1862, subsequently transferred to Company D, 2nd Texas Legion Sept/October 1862, [I cannot locate a 2nd Texas Legion]
The regiment during the period Jan/Feb 1862 appears to be stationed at Camp Park, Arkansas. Why he would enlist at Halletsville, Texas is a mystery as this was a NE Texas regiment.
27th Regiment, Texas Cavalry (Whitfield's Legion) (1st Texas Legion)
27th Cavalry Regiment [also called 1st Texas Legion] was organized during the spring of 1862 using Whitfield's 4th Texas Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. Many of the men were recruited at Daingerfield, Clarksville, and Paris, and in Titus County. After fighting at Elkhorn Tavern as a battalion, only 9 officers and 111 men were present. The unit moved east of the Mississippi River and was dismounted. It then fought at Iuka and Corinth and during the fall was remounted. Later it saw action in Mississippi, was assigned to Ross' Brigade, took part in the Atlanta and Tennessee Campaigns, then returned to Mississippi. This regiment was organized with 1,007 officers and men, lost twenty-two percent of the 460 engaged at Iuka, and surrendered only a handful on May 4, 1865. The field officers were Colonels John W. Whitfield and Edwin R. Hawkins, Lieutenant Colonel John H. Broocks, and Majors Cyrus K. Holman and John T. Whitfield.
