On August 18, 1862, Col. Edward J. Gurley organized ten companies
at Waco, Texas, to form the Thirtieth Texas Cavalry, also known as
the First Texas Partisan Rangers. After the outbreak of the Civil
War, Gurley obtained permission from President Jefferson Davis to
raise a regiment of cavalry. A majority of the men Gurley enlisted
in his command came from Waco and the surrounding area, many to
avoid the stigma of conscription. Besides McLennan, men came from
Bastrop, Johnson, Bosque, Comanche, Chambers, Erath, Hill, and
Ellis counties, all in North Central Texas near the frontier, with
a small number of men from Arkansas. After the Second Battle of
Cabin Creek, the Thirtieth Texas Cavalry received orders that
transferred it to Gen. William Henry Parson's Brigade, replacing
the Twenty-first Texas Cavalry in March 1865. The Thirtieth Texas
Cavalry finally disbanded in May 1865 at Wallace Prairie, Texas,
near Austin after serving with Parson's Brigade for only two
months.
