I am trying to find more information on:

Lt. Colonel W.E. Simms of the 1st Battalion Kentucky Cavalry and Major John Shawhan of Company A of the 1st Battalion Kentucky Cavalry.

They were with my Great Great Grandfather, Nathaniel Cook.
 
Thanks so much for the sites. This is a lot and what I needed. From some material I found on my ancestor know Major Shawhan was at the Battle of Middle Creek, Ky. where my ancestor was mortally wounded.
 
Thanks for additional sites. I copy everything I can find on Battle of Middle Creek. I am hoping to go to battle site in near future. Also want to visit grave of my great great grandfather on the Gearheart Family Cemetery near the battlefield. They are about 200 miles from our home so would be quite a drive for us.
 
Have you checked out footnote? There is TONS of information on John Shawhan!!! I can email the pages to you if you like - let me know!!
