At the organization of the Confederate States Cavalry under Major-General Stuart, June, 1862, this company was assigned as Company M to the First Virginia Cavalry, Colonel Fitz Lee commanding, and was soon after transferred to the Fifth Regiment, Colonel Rosser commanding. After the battle of Malvern Hill this company was ordered to Petersburg, and there became Company H, Thirteenth Virginia Cavalry, as part of this newly organized regiment under Colonel Chambliss.

In correspondence thereafter with Major Nash I learned that in prosecution of his labor of love, he was anxious to secure the cooperation of all officers and men of the 9th, 10th, 13th, and 14th Regiments of Cavalry, that first composed the brigade under command of General W.
