He is found to be listed on the 2nd Reg't Texas Mounted Rifles Rolls for years 1861 and 1862 and 2nd Reg't Texas Calvary Rolls for the years 1863, 1864, & 1865. Notes on the rolls say that the 2nd Regiment Texas Calvary was also known as the 2nd Regiment Texas Mounted Rifles. The Second Texas Cavalry was originally organized in the spring of 1861 under designation of the Second Texas Mounted Rifles. It was reorganized with all the same officers and enlisted men and at that time it was redesignated the Second Texas Cavalry. Dow appeared on a list of killed and wounded, in an engagement on the Nueces River, near Fort Clark Texas, August 10, 1862, as having a wound in the left hip, a wound that would continue to give him trouble until his death. He was home on furlough in 1863, when on November 30, he married, in Live Oak County, Miss Nancy Parilee White. Yarbrough died January 5, 1907 and his grave is marked with a civil war military stone.
