Re: Desha County Battalion Arkansas Militia

Hi, I am descended from Jonathan Bradburn listed in this battalion also. I didn't know the unit was disbanded. I only have him on the 1870 census of Desha county before he died, and his widown (remarried) & child are in 1880 census for Waco, McLennon County, Texas. Luckily my mother found an affadavit in Waco where she swore her lineage & marriages to prove she was able to sell a piece of property or we wouldnt have any proof of relationship. I'm stumped as to where to go from here. . . did Bradburn reinlist in another unit?? He wasn't that old that he sat out the war.
