Arkansas Confederate soldiers almost always enlisted in a company organized and recruited in the county in which they resided. Co. D, 19th (Dawson's) Arkansas Infantry, was recruited in Polk County. If you compare the muster roll with the 1860 census for Polk County, you will see that James Young, Jr. (born 1836 in Alabama), was one of several men from the same general area who enlisted in this company.

He was reported to have died of smallpox shortly after being released from prison on April 18, 1863. The James Young who served in the 4th Arkansas Cavalry, U.S. Volunteers, survived the war. He applied for a U.S. veteran's pension in 1895. He requested a replacement for his lost discharge certificate in 1898, so he was still alive and kicking at least up the turn of the century.
