Yes, it would appear that Hawthorn's Brigade was composed of the 34th, 35th, and 37th Arkansas Infantry at Jenkins' Ferry. I'm not sure what became of Hawthorn's/Cocke's regiment as I stated in a post further down. They were apparently at Camp Dick Taylor during Janaury/February of 1864. I'm not sure when they were separated from the brigade and what role they played after their separation.

Hawthorn's brigade was initially left behind at Camden when the rest of the army went to join General Taylor. They were eventually called upon as well, and left Camden for Louisiana on April 5th. They reached Shreveport around the 14th or 15th of April when they got news about Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. On the 16th, they started their march back to Arkansas with the rest of the army.
