I have a D.s. and a J.T. Matthews in Company E, 9th, Texas Cavalry Regiment. Below is the start of ther Regimental history which list the associated counties. If yo feel this may be your man, I will look up the specific county they came from.
Col. W. B. Sims, mustered the Ninth Texas Cavalry Regiment into Confederate service at Camp Reeves, Grayson County, Texas on October 14, 1861. The original unit consisted of about 1000 officers and men recruited principally from eight counties of North Texas: Cass, Fannin, Grayson, Hopkins, Lamar, Red River, Tarrant, and Titus. With William Quayle as Lt. Col., N. W. Townes as Major and J. H. Bell as Adjutant, Sims quickly organized the men and led them North into the Indian Territories to assist Col. Cooper.
