Although not officially credited to Ouachita County, a majority of the members of the Appeal Battery were residents of the county.

Additionally, I believe that a company or two of the very obscure 1st Battalion Arkansas Reserve Cavalry (Lieut. Col. Henry D. Flippin) was recruited in Ouachita County.
