Spaights 11th Calvary & Infantry Battalion

The 11th was a mixed command organized with 400 men in April 1862 and served in the Department of Texas, formerly known as the 6th Texas Infantry Battalion it can trace its origins to the “Sabine Pass Guards” Militia formed in 1861. Some of Colonel Ashley Spaight’s Texas Confederate volunteer companies were also known as the “Swamp Angels,” all of which served to defend the Texas gulf coast and Louisiana borders from Federal incursions.
~~ One of the 400 was my 3gr-grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Court.(d)
