P. R. Cleburne, major-general, commanding division
D. C. Govan, brigadier-general
John E. Murray, colonel, Fifth Arkansas
G. F. Baucum, colonel, Eighth Arkansas
Peter Snyder, lieutenant-colonel, commanding Sixth and Seventh Arkansas

Rich. J. Person, major, Third and Fifth Confederate
G. S. Deakins, major, Thirty-fifth and Eighth Tennessee
J. H. Collett, captain, commanding Seventh Texas
J. H. Kelly, brigadier-general, commanding Cavalry Division
These are the names listed on the last surviving copy of Cleburne's proposal (https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/patrick-cleburnes-proposal-arm-slaves).
I am of course quite familiar with many of these names, most particularly the 4 generals, as well as some the Colonels of Govan's brigade.
J. E. Murray, who's regiment (the 5th/13th Arkansas) held Ringold Gap at that famous encounter, was killed at the Battle of Atlanta. Baucum and Warfield were both wounded at that battle, and Person was captured; Colquitt had lost his leg some time earlier in the Atlanta Campaign. Ashford was killed at Franklin.
However, I know very little of the remainder. More information on these individuals would be wonderful
