Re: 8th Arkansas Cavalry
There is an M.P. Pressley, born 3 Feb, 1837-died 21 April, 1920, buried at Shiloh-Grand Gulf Cemetery (Thayer Twp) Oregon County--Husband of Mary Jane Pressley, born 17 Feb., 1836-died 21 April, 1875, buried Shiloh-Grand Gulf. Strange, although he must have lived in Oregon County for many years, I could not find census information for him. Thayer township is across the state line from Fulton County, Ar. and Col. Burbridge recruited along both sides of the state line.
