Now to cloud the issue is this entry for Company I, 8th Arkansas: CLASBY, J.C. Pvt Enl 8 Dec 1861 at Pocahontas, AR. Died at Toscumbia, AL 20 Apr 1862. This opens up a whole new can of worms involving the 8th Arkansas' consolidations and their screwed up rosters. I'll need to do some further research when I get time. I believe the 7th Battalion was stationed at Tuscumbia for some time before being ordered to Corinth prior to Shiloh. This leads to the more likely scenario of him dying of disease in 1862 long before the 7th Battalion ever saw combat.
