Brig Gen Albert Pike had two sons who are known to have served with him, Luther Hamilton (b.1838) and Walter Lacy (b.1840). It was most likely Walter Lacy Pike who was sent to Little Rock. Walter was Lieut. and ADC for his father through Oct. 1862. In January 1864, Walter is appointed Capt and AAG of H.E. Clark's 7th Missouri Cavalry though later Gen Sterling Price writes that Clark does not have a regiment and the 7th Missouri Cavalry is commanded by Col. S.G. Kitchens. Walter was killed in "an engagement with the enemy" on April 14, 1864.

Hamilton was apparently ADC of Gen Ben McCulloch and later Gen John Breckinridge. It appears he was unsuccessful in obtaining an appointment as AAG. Hamilton later appears in Marshall's Arkansas Battery. Hamilton survived the war.
