Chuck, also keep in mind that any such search I do will always be understated, because only about half the men in my database had their occupations mentioned in their service records. One of my ongoing projects is to go through the 1860 census and extract information such as occupation and add it to the database. The trouble is, that so far I've only been able to find maybe a third of the Arkansas counties in the 1860 census online. Anyway, the work goes on.....
