My great great grandfather was killed at the Battle of Pea Ridge on March 8, 1862. His name is Jesse Maynard Whiteley and he served in the 14th Infantry Regiment, Company E.
I would like to know about his regiment and where the dead were buried. His mother, Lucy Maynard Whiteley, was Cherokee Indian. Could his regiment have been one of the indian companies? I would appreciate any info.
