Company H

11th Kentucky "Chenault's" Cavalry

Company H was made up of men from Madison, Montgomery, and Estill counties, and perhaps had scattering members from other counties [even some from Harrison County]. It was in service under General Humphry Marshall for a year before Bragg's and Kirby Smith's [entrance into] Kentucky, about which time the term of the men's enlistment with Marshall expired, and they re-enlisted in Chenault's regiment. There were also some new recruits in the company. There is only one known roll of it in existance (supposed to be 25-30 names short) covering the period from Sept. 10 to Dec 31, 1862. 64 Officers and enlisted men.
