In addition to those mentioned in the "New Handbook of Texas," Henderson County also raised Company E of the 13th Texas Cavalry.  The first commander was William K. Payne, who was one of the Henderson County delegates to the Secession Convention.  Company E was orgainzed at Athens and mustered into Confederate Service at Camp Shiloh on 22 Feb. 1862.
