Individual Details
Albert Alvin Flatt
(12 Nov 1825 - 16 Aug 1918)
Albert Alvin Flatt, known as "Alvin," moved to Texas with his brothers William and James about 1839 after the death of his father in 1826.
Alvin joined the Confederate Army, Company I, 12th Texas Calvary on 1 July, 1864 at Natchitoches, Louisiana. He was inducted by Lt. R.P. Wright. At the time he joined the Calvary he was 41 years, 5' 8" tall, had a dark complexion, black eyes and black hair. During the 1800's the average man was only 5'5" to 5'6" tall, so Alvin was considered to be fairly tall. His occupation was listed as farmer.
Alvin was in a combined regiment of the 12th and 19th Texas Calvary which served under Col. William Henry Parsons. He served in Parsons' Brigade until the end of the war. Information online lists him as being part of the 19th Texas Calvary. Alvin fought in the Red River Campaign. He applied for a pension on June 26, 1915 in Francis, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. It was approved Oct 7, 1915 when he was living in Centerhoma, Coal County, Oklahoma.
The following book is available through www.amazon.com about Parsons' 12th Texas Cavalry Regiment, "Between the Enemy and Texas: Parson's Texas Cavalry in the Civil War," by Anne J. Bailey. Originally published in 1989 by the Texas Christian University Press, Fort Worth, Texas, 355 pages, maps, roster, cost $ 40.00. Parson's Texas Cavalry Brigade in the Civil War was comprised of the 12th Texas, the 19th Texas, the 21st Texas and Morgan's 13th Texas Cavalry Regiments and served in the Western Theater fighting in Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana. The book includes detailed quotes from soldiers' letters.
After the Civil War ended he traded his land in Van Zandt County, Texas for wagons and horses and moved to Searcy County, Arkansas. In 1897 he moved to Carter County, Oklahoma to be with some of his children, John and William Flatt. He moved to Ada, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma in 1898. He was living with daughter and son-in-law J.W. Teel in Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation in the 1900 census.
Alvin was a restless person. During his lifetime he lived in Greene County, Illinois, where he was born. He moved to Missouri, where he is believed to have lived in Atchinson County and Franklin County. He married his first wife, Anna "Becky" Armenia Curtis, in Cedar County, Missouri. After their marriage he moved to Van Zandt County, Texas. When the war ended he moved to Searcy County, Arkansas. When he was 62 he moved to Oklahoma while it was still Indian Territory. He resided in Carter County in 1897 and moved to Ada, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma the following year. Oklahoma became a state in 1907. Alvin was 92 years old when he died in Centerhoma, Oklahoma.

Well, JOHN was in the 11th tex infy' ., co "I".. He did go to the indian fort line near Decater , during the 1863 kids scalping at Sanger. He drove a supply wagon from farmers branch to wizzard wells, on to camp cooper. Some say he was in the 'bush bttn'. He is buried in south VAN ZANDT county, near his old farm-- with a V. A.-- CSA headstone I got him. Cemetery is the old "Bethel" cemetery, while William is buried in the old FLATT cemetery-- at 6 miles south of wills point-- on the old home place. It took me 3 years to find the home cemetery. six months to clean it up. James is buried on the old HURST RANCH cemetery.
Alvin was in the combo 12th tex cavy/ 19th tex cavy, under Parsons. He did the 'RED RIVER' Camp. Parsons let the men switch back and forth-- to be with their friends.
PARSONS'S BRIGADE. Parsons's Brigade, a Confederate brigade during the Civil War,qv was organized in the autumn of 1862 to serve as cavalry for the Army of the Trans-Mississippi then forming in Arkansas. For much of the war the brigade was commanded by Col. William Henry Parsons,qv who had raised the Twelfth Texas Cavalry Regiment in the summer of 1861. In late 1862, however, Brig. Gen. James M. Hayes briefly commanded the brigade, in 1863 Col. George W. Carterqv led part of the regiments, in 1864 Brig. Gen. William Steeleqv assumed command, and in 1865 Parsons regained total control. Because the force had been organized under Colonel Parsons, served under him in 1863, and was again under him at the end of the war, it was generally known as Parsons's Brigade. The permanent components of the brigade were Parsons's Twelfth Texas Cavalry Regiment, Nathaniel Macon Burford'sqv Nineteenth Texas Cavalry Regiment, George Washington Carter's Twenty-first Texas Cavalry Regiment, Charles Leroy Morgan's Texas Battalion, and Joseph H. Pratt's Tenth Texas Field Battery.
In fall 1862 the brigade served as the cavalry for the Army of the Trans-Mississippi in eastern Arkansas and monitored Union troop movements around the federal fort at Helena. In July 1862, before formation of the brigade, Parsons's Twelfth engaged federal troops near Cotton Plant, Arkansas, as Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis's Army of the Southwest marched through Arkansas. As a result of the fine leadership qualities Parsons displayed during this campaign, he received authorization to organize a brigade. By October the brigade consisted of the Twelfth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-first Texas Cavalry regiments along with an Arkansas battalion (later replaced by Morgan's Texas Battalion) and Pratt's Battery. Early in 1863 the Confederate hierarchy at Little Rock detached part of the regiments and placed Colonel Carter over the Nineteenth Texas, Twenty-first Texas, Morgan's Battalion, and Pratt's Battery. These Texans, designated Carter's Brigade, joined Maj. Gen. John S. Marmaduke on his second raid into Missouri in April. Carter, a former Methodist preacher, had originally organized a brigade of Texas Lancers (his own Twenty-first, Franklin C. Wilkes'sqv Twenty-fourth, and Clayton C. Gillespie's Twenty-fifth Texas Cavalry regiments). But Carter's Lancers broke up after reaching Arkansas, and the Twenty-first Texas joined Parsons's Brigade. Colonel Carter's desire to regain command of a brigade, however, caused problems throughout the war.
In June 1863 Parsons took the Twelfth Texas to Louisiana, where he was joined by the Nineteenth Texas and part of the Pratt's Battery under Isaac R. Clare. Parsons's men raided Union positions along the west bank of the Mississippi during the federal campaign against Vicksburg. Although Confederate efforts to aid the Vicksburg defenders from the Louisiana shore failed, Parsons's raid did result in the destruction or capture of numerous federal supplies. While Parsons was in Louisiana with part of the brigade, Colonel Carter remained in command of the rest in Arkansas. Some troops from Carter's Brigade took part in the battle for Little Rock in September 1863 and an attack upon Pine Bluff in October. When all of the regiments were reunited in Arkansas in late 1863, there was a problem over which man should command. To avoid a disagreement and to subsist men and horses, the government assigned the force to the Confederate Bureau of Conscription. Each company was ordered to its home county in Texas to arrest deserters and draft evaders.
Early in 1864 the regiments came together again when Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks'sqv federal columns began to move up the Red River toward Shreveport. Although the brigade did not join Maj. Gen. Richard Taylor'sqv Confederate Army in time to take part in the battles at Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, they did accompany Brig. Gen. Thomas Greenqv on the attack upon part of David D. Porter's fleet at Blair's Landing, on April 12, 1864. Parsons held field command in this unsuccessful attempt to cripple the federal fleet, and in the midst of battle General Green was killed by enemy artillery fire. During the campaign to push the retreating federal army down the Red River, Brig. Gen. William Steele assumed command of the brigade, and it became part of Maj. Gen. John Wharton'sqv cavalry division. Both Carter and Parsons at times had field command of the troops during the Red River campaign. The final battle of the campaign occurred at Yellow Bayou on May 18, 1864, and in this battle Parsons's Brigade suffered its greatest loss. An incomplete report of casualties from Yellow Bayou indicated twelve killed, sixty-seven wounded, and two missing. From the entire Red River Campaign, Parsons counted twenty-nine killed and 159 wounded.
Subsequently, the Texans returned to southern Arkansas. For the remainder of the year they monitored federal troop movements along the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers. But Confederate authorities began to fear a possible attack along the Texas coast and in January 1865 ordered the brigade to Texas. When the troops were reorganized in the spring of 1865, Colonel Parsons regained command of all but Carter's Regiment. Col. Edward J. Gurley'sqv Thirtieth Texas Cavalry replaced the Twenty-first Texas in Parsons's Brigade, and the Twenty-first Texas joined Walter P. Lane'sqv Brigade. The war ended for the men under Parsons on May 20, 1865, at the Central Texas settlement of Sterling, when Colonel Parsons informed his men that they could return home.
During the Civil War Parsons's Brigade earned the reputation as one of the finest mounted units serving in the Trans-Mississippi Department. The brigade took part in almost fifty battles, although most were too small to rate a name, and the men were responsible for watching federal operations from Memphis to Vicksburg. For three years they provided outposts and scouts for the army headquartered first at Little Rock and later at Shreveport. The brigade rarely mustered in full at any single place; instead, the troops generally fought by detachments or regiments. Much of the brigade's well-deserved reputation resulted from the outstanding fighting record of the Twelfth Texas Cavalry Regiment and the leadership of Colonel Parsons.
