Coyal, there's no record of Simon Gorman serving in any Arkansas regiment. I have a hunch that, like some other South Arkansas men, he may have served in Maj. Thompson J. Bird's 1st Battalion Trans-Mississippi Cavalry (also called Bird's Louisiana and Arkansas Cavalry Battalion). I don't know much at all about this outfit; records are very scarce. Some Bradley and Union county men served in Co. A of this battalion.
