Gen. Hamilton's Body Guards

Re: General Andrew Jackson Hanilton.
General of TX volunteer Union forces in Texas

Researching a union soldier buried in our local cemetery.

He was a member of the generals "Body Guard" unit.

Was this a regiment or just a company sized unit.

They were eventually consolidated with the 1st Texas Cavalry.

Any info reatly appreciated.
