Jeptha Daniel Armstrong was married to my gg grandmother's sister, Sarah Buck Armstrong who was born in 1839 in Tennessee, perhaps Shelby County.
I am wondering if Jeptha Armstrong was Arkansas born and served with an Arkansas unit. He was captured at Helena on that July 4 and was a POW until the spring of 1865.
J. D. Armstrong died in April of 1909 in Clark County, I would think.
My questions are whom was he serving with when captured and where was he held as a prisoner of war?
His brother in law-Jessee Turner, a Tennessee native also served, but who with I do not know. He could have been Union.
Thanks a bunch for any and all help.
