When I check ARKANSAS SOLDIERS IN VARIOUS MISCELLANEOUS UNITS ROLL 255, I find the following information:

8th AR Militia
ALEXANDER, W.A. -- 8th AR Militia. Voucher dtd 12 Jan 1861, Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.
ASKEW, J.P. 2Lt - 2bd Bn, 8th Regt Militia. Washington, AR 7 Feb 1861.
BAIRD, A.C. -- 8th AR Militia. 12 Jan 1861 Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.

ELLIS, J.W. -- 8th AR Militia. 12Jun1861, Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.
ELLISTON, J.M. -- 8th AR Militia. 12 Jun 1861, Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.
ERWIN, JAMES P. --8th AR Militia. 12 Jan 1861 at Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.
ETTER, E.B. Pvt - 8th AR Militia. 12 Jan 1864 Washington, Hempstead Co, AR.

Since the 8th Arkansas Militia Regiment was from Hempstead County, I presume that these CSRs result from some scrap of a muster roll from the militia regiment that was mistakenly labled as the 8th Militia Battalion.
