Re: 20 Arkansas Infantry
Mike, the 20th Arkansas was composed of five companies from southwest Arkansas (Hempstead and Lafayette), and five from other parts of the state (Bradley, Hot Spring, Perry, Pulaski). Company K was organized on March 6, 1862, at Bright Star, Lafayette County, Arkansas. John S. Waldroup [Waldrop] was a member of this company. His age and residence matche the John S. Waldrop you asked about.
