Company B
11th Kentucky "Chenault's" Cavalry, CSA

Company B was recruited from Madison County. "There are
two known rolls of this company, covering the period from Sept. 10th, 1862 to April 30, 1863".

The names below are arranged as they were printed in the original article, dated April 21, 1907, by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry. They are in "semi-alphabetical order", so a few names may fall outside of strict sequence.
