The 4th Cavalry Regiment was assigned to Thomas Greens Cavalry Brigade. That is why he shows up in both groups. See below.

CONFEDERATE TEXAS TROOPS

4th Regiment, Texas Cavalry (4th Mounted Volunteers)

4th Cavalry Regiment was organized with about 1,000 men during the late summer of 1861. Its members were from Gonzales, San Antonio, Bonham, Austin, Livinston, Crockett, and Alto, and Milam and Parker counties. The unit served in the Army of New Mexico, then was assigned to Green's and Hardeman's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department. It saw action in numerous conflicts in Louisiana and reported 28 casualties at Cox's Plantation and 6 at Bayou Bourbeau. The unit was ordered to Hempstead, Texas, during the spring of 1865 and soon disbanded. The field officers were Colonels William P. Hardeman and James Reily, Lieutenant Colonels G. J. Hampton and William R. Scurry, and Majors Charles M. Mesueur and Henry W. Raguet.

This unit is also known as Reily's Cavalry Regiment for it's first commander Colonel James Reily.

You really need copies of his service files to see what he did and where he was at. This unit had many hard fought battles. You can order his records here at this site if you wish, see the banner at the top of the page.

Good hunting,
