In Response To: Re: 30th Arkansas ()

I have pieced together the following list of companies based on the information from the Alexander Papers (Hindmand Order Book) from Danny Odom and the Gerdes site. I would appreciate any additional information that anyone has on the companies of this unit.

Company A - Commanded by Captain Cobb, Organized in April, 1862 at Oak Bluff, Green (now Clay) County,
Company B - Commanded by Captain Cameron N. Biscoe, Organized June, 1862 at Wittsburg, Cross County,
Company C - Commanded by Unknown, Organized June 20, 1662 at Madison, St. Francis County,
Company D - Commanbed by Captain Michael S. Fielder, Organized June 20, 1862 at Pineville, Arkansas and consisted of troops from both Poinsett and Cross Counties,
Company E - Commanded by Captain M. J. Clay, Organized June 14, 1962 at Little Rock, Pulaski County, also known as Clay's Cavalry.[12],
Company F - Commanded by Captain John L. Kuykendall, Organized at Gainesville, Greene County in November 1861 in response to a request for Militia by Colonel Solon F. Borland . Company was reorganized in July 1862,
Company G - Commanded by F. M. Prewett, Organized on June 17, 1862 at Mt Vernon, Pulaski (now Faulkner) County,
Company H - Commanded by Captain Green D. Byers, Organized on July 10, 1862 at Jonesboro, Craighead County,
Old Company I - Commanded by Captain James H. McGehee, was transferred to Major Chrisman's Arkansas Cavalry Battlaion and subsequently assigend as Company C of Dobbins’ 1st Arkansas Cavalry Regiment
New Company I - Commanded by Captain Mitchel A. Adair, Organized on July 2, 1862 at Jonesboro, Craighead County,
Company K - Commanded by Captain Unknown, Organized on August 1, 1862 at Jacksonport, Jackson County
Company L - Organized at Oak Bluff, in Green (currently Clay) County by Captain E. M. Allen in April of 1862. Allen was discharged from the serive on September 8, 1862 due to rheumatism.[13] Company L was disbanded on the same date and its members were distributed among the companies, most of them going to Company A.[14]
Company M - Commanded by Captain James F. Hunter, was consoldidated with Captain Bisco's Company B on September 8, 1862.
Company N - Unknown
Company O - Unknown

It appears that Captain Hunter started off as commander of Company M and wound up commanding Company K, even thoough the Hindman notes indicate that Company M. was consolidated with Company B. There may have been a larger reorganization that I do not understand. Also there appear to have been at least two company I's.
