I am looking for details and a timeline of Waller's TX Cavalry during the Civil War. My gr-gr-grandfather, Charles Riley Matney, served with that unit and I've found references to it as a Texas Ranger outfit (I have read that most units so designated during the Civil War were not in fact part of the Rangers), and various regimental numbers for it. I haven't found C.R. Matney's name on any muster rolls except via the TX State Library, from which I ordered the pension app that I've transcribed, below. Would appreciate any info on this battalion/regiment. The pension app is below, in case it helps anyone else.
