Hey Dennis,

I've been preoccupied with the grandkids this weekend, so I'm jumping into this thread kind of late, but I'll throw my two-cents worth in anyway.

My suspicion is that J. H. Henry may be John H. Henry, Private, Co. F, 3rd Confederate Regiment Infantry. This man enlisted when the outfit was part of "Hindman's Legion", later splitting off to become Co. F, 1st Arkansas Battalion Infantry, later becoming Co. F, 18th (Marmaduke's) Arkansas Regiment Infantry, which was redesignated as the 3rd Confederate Regiment Infantry about January 31, 1862. Unfortunately, the surviving muster rolls of the 3rd Confederate do not include the period March to April 1862. John H. Henry was present when the organization was formed, and is missing on the rolls following the Battle of Shiloh.

It's a stretch, but it's conceivable that John H. Henry might have identified himself as a member of the old 1st Arkansas Battalion when captured. The Camp Dennison hospital record is kind of a fluke. There should be an accompanying POW record for the man. Most POW records include prison hospital records if the prisoner was admitted, but in this case there is only the hospital record.

Anyway, for what it's worth....

By the way, I've managed to lose the address of your website when I transferred stuff over to a new computer. Could you post or email the address? It's a great site that I hate to lose sight of. Thanks, my friend.
