Duke: Thank you so much for the reply. I had previously come across information on the Florida 1st Infantry Regiment Reserves. I do not believe that this is the unit I am searching for as William Mathews had already perished by the time of it's inception on January 5, 1865.

It was called the Florida 1st Infantry Regiment Reserves. It was organized from independent companies January 5, 1865 and surrendered at Tallahassee May 10, 1865. -snip-
