Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 35. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The Eleventh Kentucky Cavalry, C. S. A. From the Lexington, Ky. Herald, April 21, 1907. (search)
t called the Seventh, by which designation it was known for several months. But Colonel R. M. Gano claimed the designation of 7th for his regiment, and was given it; after which Chenault's Regiment was known as the 11th Kentucky Cavalry. General Adam R. Johnson's book, The Partisan Rangers, commanded by Colonel William Hollis, of Webster County, gives a roster of another 11th Kentucky Cavalry, C. S. A., where, and in the adjoining counties, this regiment of 410 men was recruited. On June 22, 1863, this regiment was defeated in a fight with the 35th U. S. Cavalry, and Colonel Hollis was killed. The regiment then disbanded and the men joined other organizations. So Chenault's Regiment had the distinction of having borne two numerical designations—first the 7th Kentucky Cavalry, and second, the 11th Kentucky Cavalry—when there were already other regiments claiming these designations and bearing them, Chenault's 11th Kentucky Cavalry was composed altogether of ten companies.
