Re: What ARK unit was J. H. Henry with?

Hey Bryan, I'm glad you jumped in. I'm not sure how many of the treads you may have read?

"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."

J. H. Henry's POW or hospital records are listed under First Infantry and First Consolidated Infantry in Arkansas of fold 3. On page two he is referred as being with Company F of the 1st Regiment Arkansas Volunteers. I'm not sure if you had read this prior thread?

I did notice however that John H. Henry with the 18th with Marmaduke's had an age of twenty-one and his rendezvous of 35 miles and enlisted at Chalk Bluff, Arkansas. This might give me a fix on him concerning the pre-war census reports? And if so it might open some doors with genealogy.

I suspect you may be correct about his name being John H. Henry and his correct unit being the 3rd Confederate Infantry, at the least you have given me something further to check into.

As always I thank you for your vast Arkansas knowledge.

I do apologize to you and others about my site. My SCV Camp wanted to create a site and I threw something together in a few weeks. There are some mistakes but the fellow SCV member who runs the site is like most of us is very busy and as a result my mistakes are still present. Only about 10% of the historical documents have been posted thus far. Most of my documents came from the NARA in DC and as far as I know are not online. But someday we will get it right. The Chase biographies will be posted when finished but with 2,169 it takes a while. LOL I can share this with you however since I'm finished with the reasons for death at Chase. The leading three reasons for death at Chase were 1) pneumonia = 989. 2) Small-pox = 372. 3) Diarrhea = 236. Camp Sumter aka Andersonville lost only 67 soldiers due to small-pox and they listed the number of soldiers who died as 12,920.

The figure of 2,169 at Camp Chase represent those who have Confederate tombstones only. Some of the tombstones have double inscriptions so it would be incorrect to suggest there are 2,169 tombstones. At least eight of the Confederate tombstones are those of Union soldiers who may or may not be in the Chase Cemetery. At least one of them is not buried at Chase. Sorry to ramble and get off topic. The following should get you to the site. P.S. Thanks to you also George!
