Head's and Glass' Companies of Cavalry

The below was posted on the Indian Territory in the Civil War messageboard. My guess is these are companies of Texans so I'm posting it here as well.

In the Confederate order of battle at 2nd Cabin Creek, Captain Head's Company and Captain Glass' Company are mentioned. Does anyone know who these men were and where they were from? They are also mentioned at Massard Prairie.

From the ORs:

Series 1, Vol 41, Part 1, p.789; Gano to Cooper, Sept 29, 1864.
[Hay Camp Action near Flat Rock Creek, Sept. 16, 1864]
From thence we moved to within one mile of their camp unperceived, and I sent Lieutenant- Colonel Welch to the right with a column composed of the Twenty- ninth and Thirty- first Texas Cavalry (De Morse's and Hardeman's) while General Watie conducted the Indian column to the left, while I carried forward the center, with Howell's battery supported by Martin's regiment, the Gano Guards,under Captain Welch, and Head's and Glass' detachment of companies. I could distinctly see Captain Strayhorn formed in the enemy's rear.
