 | | This unit was organized in the fall of 1861, by Col. William C. Mitchell, of men from Marion and other northwestern Arkansas counties. |
 | | Thomas H. McCray of the Fifth Arkansas was sent to recruit men from the north central part of the state--Conway, Independence, Jackson, Pope, Van Buren, and Yell Counties. |
 | | Union pensions were based on the military service unit of the veteran, so this index can be used to trace the movement of men who served in Arkansas units, then moved to other parts of the county after the war. |
