Confederate Military Records

I previously published this list of Confederate Soldiers in The Clover Family Exchange, Volume 9, Issue 2, Spring 2000, page 24. Most of these soldiers were in Arkansas.

Confederate Soldiers: There were Clovers on both sides of the Civil War. The Clovers in Arkansas naturally were on the Confederate side along with Clovers from some other southern states. The following names are listed in the Roster of Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865 Vol II, Edited by Janet B Hewett, 1995, p 471.

There is a large, very good site on Arkansas Confederate Soldiers which was brought to my attention by Rhonda Clover. These are from various pages on that site. Note that the search engine does not index the entire site.
