Question from Bryan

I am looking at the "30 day" units raised in respnose to Borland's Call of 5 November. I found the information on the Grebes site on the 1st and 2nd Regiment. There are also four "30 day" companies listed separetely in the Grebes index. Were these companies separate from the 1st and 2nd "30 Day" Regiments? Were they intended for the 3rd Regiment which does not seem to have formed?

Clayton’s Company, 30-Day Volunteers, CSA -- Notation on muster roll—“This company was raised at Ash Flat, Arkansas, in response to Colonel Borland’s call of November 5, 1861, mustered into the Confederate service on November 9, 1861, for 30 days, and discharged on December 9, 1861, at Pitman’s Ferry, Arkansas.

Ballard’s Company, 30-Day Volunteers, CSA - Notation on muster roll—“This company was raised in Randolph county, Arkansas, in response to Colonel Borland’s call of November 5, 1861, mustered into the Confederate service on November 17, 1861, for 30 days, and discharged on December 17, 1861, at Pitman’s Ferry, Arkansas.” These men were from Randolph county.

Baker’s Company, 30-Day Volunteers, CSA - from St Francis county. Notation on muster roll—“This company was raised at Cotton Plant, Arkansas, in response to Colonel Borland’s call of November 5, 1861, mustered into the Confederate service on November 14, 1861, for 30 days, and discharged on December 14, 1861, at Pocahontas, Arkansas.”

Reves’ Mounted Company, 30-Day Volunteers, CSA - From Randolph County. Notation on muster roll—“This company was raised in Randolph county, Arkansas, in response to Colonel Borland’s call of November 5, 1861, mustered into the Confederate service on December 26, 1861, for 30 days, and discharged on January 26, 1862, at Pocahontas, Arkansas.”
