State Troops

Working on the Wikipedia list of Arkansas Confederate units. I am struggling with the term State Troops. I understand that several units were mustered in to State Service, before being transfered to Confederate Service. I think that in the last year of the war, some units were raised for State service and never transferred. Does anyone have a good list of the State Troops. Here is what I am tracking.

1st Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, (Cleburne), becomes the 15th Arkansas

3rd Regiment, Arkansas State Troops also know as "Gratiot's Regiment"[5]
4th Regiment, Arkansas State Troops Also known as "Walker's Regiment"
5th Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, Also known as "Dockery's Regiment"

1st Cavalry Regiment, Arkansas State Troops
3rd Cavalry Regiment, Arkansas State Troops

Were the following regiments ever referred to as State Troops?
6th Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, became the 6th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry?
7th Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, became the 7th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry?
8th Regiment, Arkansas State Troops, became the 8th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry?

The 5th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, also called the "Fighting Fifth", I know is different than Dockery's Regiment, but was this one also referred to as state troops as some point before the transfer?
