* The family, at that time was living in COVE CREEK Township. My Gr. Gr. Grandfather was Samuel, the younger brother of John.
* I found that the three brothers, Thomas, John, and Samuel mustered into the Confederate Army in 1862 at Conway, Arkansas. They were attached to the 27th Arkansas Infantry and remained there until the end of the Civil War.
*My Gr. Gr. Grandfather married Mary Jane Wooten who also lived in Cove Creek. They Later moved to California where they are now buried in the Sentinel Cemetery in Clovis, Fresno County, California.
I have not, at this point, been able to trace Carmel and Mary through their home states.
