My gr-gr-grandfather, Charles Riley Matney, was m. to Mary Louise Naney, probably in Tarrant Co TX and probaby in 1859 or early 1860. My gr-grandmother, Sarah Ann Matney, was b. Tarrant Co TX in 1861.
QUERY -- Mary L. Naney's father, Green William Naney, also served in a Confederate Cavalry regiment from Texas; however, the records show that his unit was Bradford's Texas Cavalry, which apparently wasn't formed until 1864, and I am wondering if his enlistments may predate that? Are there any muster rolls prior to 1864 for the units which comprised Bradford's/Mann's? And what was the service of this unit?
