Impact on Captain Molloys' Company

Company H, 20th Regiment Texas Cavalry (Dismounted)

Limestone and nearby Counties, Texas

Confederate States Army

As A Consequence of the Battle of Honey Springs

Creek Nation, Indian Territory

17 July 1863

I initiated this project after I became aware of the enduring aftermath seen in my ancestry as a result of this battle, some effects coming down in time to shape my own life.  I needed clear data to formulate an interpretation about these effects, which I will write about in a subsequent article.   – Maggie Barnett, 28 January 2015

          Company history compiled from National Archives Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers and from National Park Service Civil War Soldiers database:  This company was successively designated as Captain Molloy's Company; Bass' Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers; Company B, Bass's Regiment Texas Cavalry; and Company H, 20th Regiment Texas Cavalry.

          The 20th (Bass') Regiment Texas Cavalry was organized 15 Mar 1862 with eight companies, A through H.  Two companies, enlisted in May and June, 1862, were subsequently added as I and K.  Company G was detached as a Company of Independent Mounted Rangers by S.O. No. 196, A. and I.G.O., dated 21 Aug 1862, and subsequently became Company F, Morgan's Regiment Texas Cavalry.  The regiment was dismounted in November 1862, and about March 1864, it was reduced to a battalion of companies, and designated Johnson's Battalion, 20th Regiment Texas Dismounted Cavalry.

          20th Cavalry Regiment, recruited in Hill County, Texas, was organized during the spring of 1862 with about 850 officers and men. The unit was assigned to Cooper's and Gano's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and primarily confronted the Federals in the Indian Territory. It was included in the surrender of the Indian Troops at Doaksville on June 23, 1865. The field officers were Colonel Thomas C. Bass, Lieutenant Colonels Andrew J. Fowler and T.D. Taliaferro, and Majors Dempsey W. Broughton and John R. Johnson.

Another history of the 2th Texas compiled by Justin Sanders at can be found here:  

The 20th Texas Cavalry was organized in late March, 1862 in eastern Kaufman County under Col. Thomas Coke Bass and contained the following companies:

                  Co. A   (later G),    Capt. John Bussy, Anderson Co.

                  Co. B   (later D),    Capt. Francis M. Martin, Navarro Co.

                  Co. C   (later C),    Capt. John Randolph Johnson, Kaufman Co.

                  Co. D  (later E),     Capt. Thomas Phillips Andews, Kaufman Co.

                  Co. E   (later F),     Capt. Jeremiah Warren, Henderson Co.

                  Co. F   (later H),    Capt. Horatio G. Bruce, Johnson Co.

                  Co. G  (later A),     Capt. Benjamin D. McKie, Navarro Co.

                  Co. H  (later B),     Capt. Harwell H. Malloy, Navarro Co.

                  Co. I    (later I),      Capt. R.S. Barber

                  Co. K  (later K),     Capt. M. McGee, Limestone Co.

From April to mid-July 1862, the regiment was at Camp McCulloch near

Tyler, Tx. While in Tyler, in July, the regiment was reorganized under

the Confederate Conscription Acts -- many men over the age of 35 were

discharged, and the companies were re-lettered (so that, for example,

Capt. Bussy's Co. A became Co. G ). In late August 1862, Capt. B.D.

McKie's Co A (originally Co. G), was detached from the regiment, and it 

never again served with the 20th Texas Cavalry.

In September, 1862, the 20th went to Arkansas where it fought in numerous skirmishes  north of Fayetteville. Among these skirmishes were Cassville, MO. 21 Sep 1862, Elkhorn,  AR 16 Oct 1862, and Cross Hollows, AR 18 Oct and 28 Oct 1862. About the first of November, the regiment was dismounted and served the remainder of the war as infantry. The 20th Texas Dismounted Cavalry was present at the battle of Prairie Grove, AR 7 Dec 1862, but it was part of a brigade that served as the Confederate reserves, and it appears not to have actually been in action in the battle. From January to June 1863, the regiment served post duty at Ft. Smith, AR.

In July 1863, the regiment was sent to the Indian Territory where it played

a major role in the battle of Honey Springs on 17 July. After Honey Springs,

the troops of the 20th served as post soldiers for Ft. Washita (near Durant

OK) and Boggy Depot (near present Atoka OK). In March, 1864 the 20th was reorganized from an eight company regiment to a four company battalion under the command of Maj. John R. Johnson. Companies C and D were at Ft. Washita under Maj. Johnson, Co. B was at Doaksville (near Ft. Towson), and Co. A was at Boggy Depot.

The 20th Texas Dismounted Cavalry Battalion was sent to Richmond,

Texas about the first of April 1865. It served in Richmond until the battalion broke up in late May 1865 shortly before the surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department which included Texas.
