Long time lurker....first post.

Regarding the 2nd Arkansas Inf Rgt, of which my GG-Grandfather Charles Alva Harlow was a member (Co.A), I recently came across another mention of the 2nd AR Inf's flag;

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL [MEMPHIS, TN], June 11, 1861, p. 3, c. 1
Arkansas Volunteers.—Col. Hindman's company of Arkansas volunteers, six hundred in number, with Col. Hindman in command, arrived in this city on the Morrison on Sunday (June 9th). They will remain here until the whole regiment is collected together, when they will proceed to Virginia. The Arkansas volunteers have a splendid silk flag, presented by President Davis' Lady. The volunteers are a fine looking spirited body of men, and where they are called to action they will make their mark.

Is this in reference to Jefferson Davis' wife, Varina, first lady of the Confederacy? Would she have actually been present during a flag ceremony and done the honors herself?

Any clarity here is greatly appreciated.
