Corp. John W. Tompkins, Co. F, Bradford's Regiment Texas Cavalry . "Tomkins" in fold3 and NPS. Only 2 pages in fold3....an Index Card and a "tri-monthly Regimental Return dated by order of Col. Bradford since Aug. 4". Couldn't find a description of Bradford's Regiment in NPS. Found this at the Texas State Historical Association:
