In Response To: J. M. Martin ()

John [sic] M. Martin, Private, C0mpany I, 14th (Power's) Regiment Arkansas Infantry, enlisted July 24, 1861 for 12 months, captured at Port Hudson, July 9, 1863, paroled July 12/13, no further records

[Other Martins in the regiment are Benjamin G., George A., J. A. Co. H, James C., Co. B, age 23, Napoleon, Thomas W. and Thomas]

Note: The March & April, 1863 bi-montly muster roll is the last surviving roll in the records. This precludes knowledge of subsequent service

I do not find him further.

14th Regiment, Arkansas Infantry (Powers')

14th (Mitchell's-Powers') Infantry Regiment was organized during the fall of 1861 with 939 officers and men recruited in the northwestern region of the state. It fought at Elkhorn Tavern and later moved east of the Mississippi River. The regiment reported 17 casualties out of the 116 engaged at Iuka, and there were 12 wounded and 2 missing at Corinth. It was then assigned to Beall's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, and in April, 1863, united with Crockett's 18th and Lyles' 23rd Arkansas Regiments. This command was captured at Port Hudson on July 9. After being exchanged, the 14th was not reorganized. Its commanders were Colonels Eli Dodson, M. C. Mitchell, and Frank P. Powers; Lieutenant Colonel Pleasant Fowler; and Majors John Allen, E. H. Messick, and J. H. Messick.
