Of the artillery J. W. Fannin, Jr., was elected colonel, James C. Neill and David B. Macomb lieutenants colonel, and W. B. Travis and “T. F. L. Barrett” (this undoubtedly should be T. F. L. Parrott) majors. Of the infantry Philip A. Sublett was elected colonel, Henry Millard lieutenant colonel, and William Oldham major. Travis declined his appointment in the artillery, on the ground that he believed he could be more useful in some other branch of the army, and F. W. Johnson was elected in his place. Sublett did not accept the colonelcy of infantry, and Edward Burleson fell heir to that place.
