I would like to expand on the article on Brown's Battery. I know it was formed in the summer of 1862, but I don't know much else about it's service or where it surrendered. It doesn't seem to appear in the November 19, 1864 Trans-Mississippi Artilllery Report.
I have a reference that metions the Battery serving in Indian Territory in the summer of 1863. Does any one have a good source to fill in the blanks?

Brown's Arkansas Artillery Battery (1862-1865) was a Confederate Army artillery battery during the American Civil War. Also known as: the Newton Artillery

Organization

It appears in the Official Records (vol. XXII) as a two-gun Arkansas battery, Capt. Louis W. Brown, attached to Marmaduke's command. Brown had earlier been an officer in an Arkansas militia command. One of the other officers was Henry Halliburton, a sergeant serving with Marshall's Arkansas Battery. Most of the thirty-four names which appear in the National Archives records under Brown's Arkansas Battery also can be found in the 27th Arkansas Regiment. Six each came from Companies "G" and "I"; another five were assigned from Company "F". Others appear to be from Companies "A", "B", "C", "E", "H" and "K".[1] Several Missouri men from Co B, Matlock's Ark Regiment, joined the battery. They previously had been members of Jeffers' Mo Independent Cavalry Company, the Swamp Rangers. One of them, Joseph Coker, later wrote a short paper, which is part of the Thomas Ewing Family Papers, Library of Congress,which is directed toward the Battle of Pilot Knob,Mo. However, he traces some of his prior experiences, including a little on his service in Brown's Battery.[2]

HEADQUARTERS TRANS-MISSISSIPPI DISTRICT, Little Rock, Ark., August 1, 1862. Special Orders, No. 42. Capt. L. W. Brown will report immediately to Brig. Gen. J. H. McBride, at his headquarters at or near Batesville, to command a company of artillery for service with his brigade. General McBride will, if he finds it necessary, make details from his infantry, to form such a company, of one hundred and twenty men. By command of Major-General Hindman, R. C. NEWTON, Chief of Staff.[3]
The battery was named the "Newton Artillery" in honor of Col. Robert Crittenden Newton.[4]

The transfer of men from the 26th Arkansas to Brown's Battery was made permanent "by order of Gen. Hindman" as of August 12, 1862. This was also the date that transfers of men to other batteries (Hart's, etc.) were made permanent. It is also, coincidentally, the date of a reorganization of regiments in Arkansas in which new elections of officers were held, and some companies were shifted around, consolidated, etc.[5]
