The 3rd Confederate Infantry was comprised of the following companies --

Co. A--Little Rock Grays, of Pulaski county, Arkansas.
Co. B--Young Guard, of Shelby county, Tennessee.
Co. C--Fletcher Rifles, of Mississippi county, Arkansas.
Co. D--Shamrock Guards, of Warren county, Mississippi.
Co. E--Linden Dead-Shots, of St. Francis county, Arkansas.
Co. F--Chalk Bluff Rebels, of Greene county, Arkansas.
Co. G--Pine Bluff Artillery, of Jefferson county, Arkansas.
Co. H--Swamp Rangers, of Warren county, Mississippi.
Co. I--Burrowville Mountain Guards, of Searcy county, Arkansas.
Co. K--Rector Guards, of Searcy county, Arkansas.

Note: Companies I and K were composed primarily of suspected members of the so-called Arkansas Peace Society, who were arrested and sent to Little Rock, where they were given the choice of Confederate service or imprisonment. Most of the men were from Searcy County. The officers were non-Peace Society men appointed by the Governor.

Also note: Company H was disbanded and consolidated with Company E on January 22, 1862.

Also note: Company I was disbanded and consolidated with Company A on April 23, 1862.
