Re: Question concerning a soldier in 3rd ARK

Thx George, Through your information I was able to fill in the voids of this soldier. His place and time of capture make sense now in my opinion.

"Private John C. Mc RAE - Inscription on tombstone #363 reads “JNO. C. McRAE CO. A 3 ARK. REG. C.S.A.” He was taken prisoner at Knoxville, Tennessee in March 1864. The compiler would like to acknowledge the assistance of George Martin at www.history-sites.com for the following information. “J. C. McCray [sic], Private, Company A, 3rd Arkansas Infantry, arrested/captured at Knoxville, Tennessee March 26, 1864, deserter, received at Camp Chase, Ohio April 7, died October 25, 1864, Chronic Diarrhea.” M317: Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of Arkansas. And the compiler would like to acknowledge the work of Edward G. Gerdes and Bryan R. Howerton for the following information: “McRae, John C
Private—Enlisted in Co. A, 3rd Arkansas Infantry, at Portland, Arkansas, June 1, 1862; captured at Knoxville, Tennessee, March 26, 1864; died of chronic diarrhea at Camp Chase Military Prison in Ohio, October 25, 1864; buried in Grave #363; born in Alabama, c1844; listed in Ashley county 1860 census; occupation farmer.”
