Re: Baylor's Calv. Reg.

Hey,
Sorry I am two years late in reading this but....obviously there were two Baylors who were commanders of cavalry units during two, separate and distinct WARS!

Col. George Baylor, commander of the 3rd Light Dragoons, during the American Revolution - see my "Dragoon Diary."

and (see) "Baylor's History of the Baylors" about the man and the family during the American Civil War. In this book you will find the cavalry unit under Col. John R. Baylor. This is the one I believe your subject probably started about. John is a nephew of the Col. George from the Rev. War.

Best wishes.
