Re: Boen Question
Bob, Pinkney Boen also served in the 10th Arkansas Militia, before enlisting in the 26th Arkansas. I haven't found any census information about him, which leads me to suspect that Pinkney may be his middle name. I've run across a lot of soldiers who went by their middle names, e.g., Marion (Francis Marion), Jeff (Thomas Jefferson), Jackson (Andrew Jackson), etc.
