Below is what I have so far in my records.
1st Texas Heavy Artillery, Company H (Catching's Company)
Overview : 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment was organized at Galveston, Texas, during the winter of 1861-62 using the 3rd Texas Artillery Battalion as its nucleus. The unit served in the Trans-Mississippi department primarily at Galveston and along the upper Texas coast. Company F was stationed at Sabine Pass during September, 1863, and was prominent in the surrender of two Federal gunboats, the Sachem and Clifton. In April 1864, it was stationed at Galveston Island with 23 officers and 462 men, and in April 1865, there were 430 present for duty. The regiment was included in the surrender on June 2. Its commanders were Colonel Joseph J. Cook, Lieutenant Colonel John H. Manly, and Major Edward Von Harten.
One of the slips I was able to find was a receipt roll that lists the unit as 1 Heavy Artillery with below the name Co H Cook's Regiment of Artillery.
On my muster roll I have I see the enlistment date is May 11, 1863 at Gonzales Texas. So if anyone knows of anything specific post May 11, 1863 I would love to read it. I am mainly looking for anything pertaining to Company H how ever, not doing a history of the regiments themselves as much as trying to create a detailed campaign list for my relatives.
