sandy -- yes, there is a rufus maness listed in the 6th -- aka monroe's 1st -- arkansas cavalry. he was a columbia county man who died in a hospital at van buren, arkansas, on december 6, 1862.

please forgive the lower-case letters. i have to type with one hand for awhile. i took a tumble on the ice last week and got an owie.

as soon as i can get back up to speed, i'll post rufus maness' full service record for you.
