Interesting....at the following URL re Col. Borland (thanks Bill for posting this!!!!) there was the following info:

http://community-1.webtv.net/billboggess-gray/COLONELSOLONBORLAND/

"O) 25 Apr ['62] - It was found Lt Col GRIFFITH was senior officer, who then replaced DANLEY NOTE: (R) Jany 31 to April 30 1862, "Field and Staff Roll", says; Col Solon BORLAND, Absent Since 15 Dec 1861 on account of ill health."

Am I correct in assuming that the "Lt. Col. GRIFFITH" described above is most likely Lt. Col. John Griffith of the 17th (Rector's - Griffith's) Arkansas Infantry?

Bryan - whaddaya think??????

y.v.o.s.,
