Brief History
Gunter's Cavalry Battalion was assembled during the fall of 1863 and served under General Cabell in the Trans-Mississippi Department. It took an active part in the conflicts at Elkins' Ferry and Marks’ Mills, then participated in Price's Missouri Expedition. After some light action, the unit disbanded prior to the surrender in June, 1865. Joseph H.

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
