Re: Sgt P. J. Williams
He must have been the initial one but somehow replaced afterwards perhaps. Sounds like you found some good stuff. At the ANG Museum there was a history of the war by a former ANG general who copied a bunch of things from the newspapers of 1860's. It mentions many flag presentations and I printed that off at one time and highlighted most of the flag info. Did you get that info? Most from the Ark Gazette. It has quite a bit of early war info etc.
