What role did wm f Cody play in the seventh kansas burning of oxford ms?

I believe the burning of Oxford, MS occurred at the same time of General Forrest's Memphis Raid on August 21, 1864. General Chalmers' forces was used as a distraction while General Forrest made his raid into Memphis. General Chalmers had to pull back which allowed the Union cavalry to capture and destroy much of Oxford.I don't know if the 7th Kansas Cavalry was involved in the attack on Oxford.The 7th Kansas Cavalry returned to Leavenworth, Kansas, in Jan & Feb 1864 to recruit replacements for soldiers who had served their time in the Army. William F. Cody, who later became known as "Buffalo Bill Cody", enlisted with the 7th Kansas Cavalry. The 7 Kansas Cavalry returned to the Memphis area for patrols along the Memphis & Charleston RR and conduct raids into northern Mississippi. So it is possible that Cody was in Oxford.
