Cherokee Mounted Volunteers

My great grandfather, Uriah WALDRON rode with the 1st Cherokee Mounted Volunteers CSU during the Civil War. I am not sure where he joined, but I know he spent many of the years after the war in first Kansas and then Arkansas. He was in Arkansas by 1870 and I believe he died there after 1895. He was married to a full blood Cherokee woman. In the census, her name is listed as Nancy Jane.

If I were to request any pension information, which state would I contact? Kansas or Arkansas?
