Hi. Lemuel R. Jones, b. 1 Feb 1833; d. 12 Oct 1903, served as a 2nd
Lieutenant in Co. D, Second Arkansas Cavalry USA - Volunteer out of
Springfield, Mo. He was thrown from his horse and stepped on by another
horse during battle. His record states that the injury occurred on 30 Aug
1863, at Mudtown. I can find no record of a battle in Mudtown in 1863. His
brother, John W. Jones, CSA, was killed on that same day, 30 Aug 1863 during
battle of Mudtown. Is anyone familiar with this battle? I know th
I saw a J. M. Haynes listed yesterday in a book entitled Confederate
Soldiers Buried in Arkansas by Rena Marie Knight. Her information says
that this J. M. Haynes was in Co. D, Monroe's Arkansas Troops and that he
is buried in Ozan Cemetery in Hempstead County. Other information I have
found indicates either he or his wife applied for pension # 23092 from
Howard County. Could someone who has access to the pension records
please tell me if his name was Jonathan or James and if his wife's name
was Mary? I
Does someone on this list have an email address or a regular mailing
address for Ms. Knight? I recently had a chance to look through her book
at the library and would like to ask her about her source of information
for one of the soldiers she has listed. Thank you.

Looking for the DeValls Bluff Reg. Hospital about 1863 the 11 Reg.
Company F was stationed here, and my GGGrandfather Pvt. Lindsey Price
came down with the fever and was hospitalized and died in the hospital.
This info came from the widows pension records. My question is did they
bury there de
Barbara.
Yes, the two records are of the same man, J.M. HAYNES of Nashville, the
seat of Howard County, Arkansas, born 1837/1838, who was a Private
soldier, in Company I, at one date, and at another time Company D, of
Witherspoons Battalion, Monroes Regiment, Cabells Brigade, of
Arkansas Cavalry (?). He served in Company I (Captain McKeans company)
at enlistment. Later, he was placed into Company D of the same regiment,
probably because Company I had been so shot up that it had only a few
men left aliv
Today I received from the Arkansas History Commission the pension
application of J. M. Haynes of Howard County, #23092. (There are some of
you on this list who are probably tired of hearing about this man/these
men from me.) J. M. Haynes was 77 years old at the time of this
application, made on June 5, 1915. He states that he was a member of Co.
D (McKean's) Witherspoon's Battalion, attached to Monroe's Regiment
Cabell's Brigade Arkansas Troops (on another page a man who has known him
for 54 years states
GREAT JOB FRAN!!

Those are two different men.
James M. Haynes enlisted in Co. I, 19th (Dawson's) Arkansas Infantry, at Nashville, Arkansas, on June 18,
1862. He was captured at Arkansas Post, on January 11, 1863; sent to Camp Douglas, Illinois, on February 8,
1863; and exchanged at City Point, Virginia, on April 10, 1863. He spent the remainder of the war east of the
Mississippi in the consolidated 19th & 24th Arkansas Infantry, and was paroled at Charlotte, North Carolina,
on May 3, 1865. He died on February 15, 1897.
Ed,
Thank you very much for explaining that this is one man, not two. There
are records for several different J. M. Haynes in southwest Arkansas
(some are James M. and some are Jonathan M.)--this at least merges two of
them! I also am very glad to have the explanation of how the armies were
named and organized. I really appreciate your knowledge and your help.

Thank you so much for helping me get these J. M. Haynes in southwest
Arkansas straightened out. Your information is always very helpful.

BonBon,
Read this from the official records of the Civil War.
_MUDTOWN_ is referred to several times, and I believe your man's injury
is described when an officer says, in the last paragraph, "My men
behaved bravely. The only casualty to my men was 1 injured by the fall
of his horse. We captured in all 16 horses." --Army Official Records
#116 (s2/Vol III) '61-02-19, Union Correspondence.

Connie,
I have seen information on our Newton County Message Board about
Mudtown. I believe there may even be information on the web page for
Springdale or Lowell, Arkansas. I am sending a request to our message
board members to send you what information they have on Mudtown. Sorry, I
didn't keep a copy of the information for myself.
The Butterfield Stage used to run through Mudtown (now known as Lowell,
Ar). The stage stop was Callahan's.

Hi Laura,
After the war ended, the Federal Government gathered all their known dead
and reburied them in National Cemeteries at Little Rock, Ft. Smith and
Fayetteville.
Lindsey Price is not listed in any of those cemeteries. He may be in one of
them and still may not be listed.
If he lived within travel distance, he may well have been taken home.
DeValls Bluff was the Cavalry Center for Arkansas so there should be many
others who died there.
Did he have another name that may have been used?
There is a Danie
