I've been watching the exchange of information of late about the 1st FL Reserves and the Home Guards. I'm wondering if there isn't some sort of distinction between the unit as strictly a state organization and the same unit as an official body in the Confederate Army. I think it's possible that the organization known as the 1st FL Reserves existed before its mustering into Confederate service in January of 1865. My gggg-grandfather, William Sills, according to records from the National Archives was mustered into the reserve unit in May, 1864. That's months before the official recognition of that unit as part of the Confederate Army in January of the following year. Ron Hall
