HISTORY OF Company I, 9TH (NICHOLS')
Click on the link above to read the history of the Ninth (Nichols')

Officers of Company I were:

R. F. Oliver, Captain T. W. Smith, First Lieutenant
J. G. Cobb, Second Lieutenant
M. H. Elliott , Third Lieutenant
Thomas J. Peel, Second Lieutenant

All of the above officers were enumerated in Montgomery County in the 1860 decennial census. We might note that, after being mustered out of the Ninth (Nichols'), Captain R. F. Oliver went on to join the Fourth Texas Infantry, Hood’s Brigade.

Following is a complete list of the enlisted men and officers of Company I, as extracted from the files of the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System records.

I have indicated the counties of residence in 1860 for those I was able to establish. Two were found in 1850 only, and those are so noted. Those who served under Capt. Wooldridge, either in the Danville Riflemen or in the 24th Regiment Texas Cavalry, are linked to their biography pages on the Riflemen website.
