Re: R. Murphy's Militia Company

"Which I guess brings us back to Mark's original post."

Do you think that Capt Murphy's Company may have been formation of Arkansas Colored Troops from Pine Bluff?

I know that Contriband that were in the Battle of Pine Bluff were under the command of another Officer. But a lot of those contriband later joined U.S.C.T. regiments.

Clayton reports would seem to maybe give the impression that Murphy's company were white troops. But if that is so then these troops would almost have to have been deserters from the Confederate Army, as almost every able bodied man would have been inducted into the Confederate Army for as long as the Confederates were in Pine Bluff in 62/63 having only left in late July 63.

There was a 1st Lt. Lawrence Murphy that was an adjuntant in the 5th Kansas Cavalry. I wonder if Clayton reported was transcribed correctly, if the intial "R" was really and "L"?
