Harvey, I am a little swampped right now to do a great deal of research. Go to http://www.tarleton.edu/~kjones/ This is one of the better gateway sites for research.

However, a quick check on these units shows the following:

Hodges was in Company "I" which was a Smith County Company under Capt. Ed Sharp.
The 22nd Infantry Regiment was organized during the early summer of 1862 using the 5th (Hubbard's) Texas Infantry Battalion as its nucleus. Many of its members were from Palestine, Quitman, Livingston, Mason, and Tyler. The 22nd was attached to O. Young's and Waul's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and fought in Louisiana and Arkansas including the conflicts at Young's Point and Jenkins' Ferry. Later it moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, then Hempstead, Texas. Here the regiment disbanded before the surrender in June, 1865. Its commanders were Colonel Richard B. Hubbard, Lieutenant Colonels John J. Canon and Elias E. Lott, and Major Benjamin F. Parkes.

Price was a private in "I" The 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 Hampstead, 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.

Morgan was in "I" of the 18th Infantry. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/tx/RandysTexas/page2.html for more information. This company was raised in Shelby and Rusk County, and served in the Trans-Mississippi. There is a notation on the online muster roll that Morgan was detailed to the Tyler Ordnance Works. However, I cannot find him on my lists as being detailed here. If you find something that shows when he was detailed, I would appreciate it.

Hope this helped.

Randy
