The Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board

For Bryan and Doyle

I don't know if this will help you but came across it researching another matter.

"Relf's Bluff, Ark., July 22, 1915, Editor of Monticellonian, Monticello, Ark.

I see in your valuable paper of July 15th, 1915, a list of names given by Mr. Stan C. Harley, of
Arkadelphia, Arkansas, relating to Co. B. 2nd Arkansas Cavalry, in the war of 1861 to 1865, which I see is only partly correct.

While I did not serve in the first part of the war, I did in the last two years. My understanding is that Company B was remnants of Companies A.& B, organized by Capt. Street Hudspeth as Captain of Company A and Captain Stiles Ragland as Captain of Company B, of Col. W.F. Slemons' Regiment, who was 3rd Lieutenant at first organization of Ragland's Company, and who later commanded a Brigade, composed of Cols. Monroe, Crawford, Wright and Cockran, who was a Captain in Slemons old Regiment composed of Companies commanded by Captains Stevern, Company B; Ellis, Company C; Snell, Company D; Summerville, Company E; Tibbs, Company F; Greenfield, Company G; Oliver, Company H; Hankins, Company K.

Privates of Company B:

James Arnold, John Berry, Jack Berryman, Larkin Berryman, Jas. Berryman, William Barbary, Moses Collins, Ben Collins, Andrew Collins, Oliver Collins, James Collins, John Collins, William Current, W.M. Carr, Joseph Clark, Sim Courtney, Mank Courtney, Sam Carter, Bob Carter, Franklin Dunlap, Jack Dunlap, John Dunlap, Wm. Dunlap, Barney Davis, Wm. Davis, Matthews Donaldson, Rufus Ellis, Ben Ellis, Alford Ellis, Geo. Estis, John Fulliard, John Flemister, Wm. Flemister, Ben Greenwood, Thomas Greenwood, Lemuel Garmon, H.K. Hutchinson, Wm. Harvey, Lewis Holsonback, Polk Holsonback, James House, Wm. House, John House, M.A. Hoke, L.E. Hoke, M.T. Hall, James Harris, W.B. Johnson, J.L. Knight, Haywood Lamb, Luke Morgan, Asc Morgan, Stokes Morgan, W.F. Norton, Daniel Perry, Geo. Rogers, "Snake" Ragland, E.C. Skinner, John Sweeny, Wm. Smith, Dew Sandback, Henry Trantham, Allen Trantham, Jack Trantham.

(Mr. Lyle's additions):

John Glossup, ___Grear, John Stevens, Tucker Lyons, ___Brunson, Rad, Collins, Joseph McCarver, Fred Wells,
Geo. Preddy, Rot. Kidd, Milton Dabney, W.H. Boyt, Cass Prewitt, Sug Matthews, Bascomb Blakely, J.D. Brown,
T.T. Burr, Josh Rhodes, James Thompson, Alf Thomson, John Jeter, Ben Bussell, Hiram Cornish, Adam Lockhart,
Jeff Van Landingham, D.B. Gillham, Sam Sturat, John Hearn, Wm. Hendley, Little Red, Ed White, Wm. Teer, Truman Niman, James Jones, Rubin Bordwell, W.H. Lyle, Thomas Black, Dink Spivey, Thomas Owens.

(White the writer does not say so, we presume the last list of names above did not go out with Co. B but was added later--Ed)
