Matt, the Andrew Hudson who served in the 10th Arkansas Militia was a Johnson County man, and is not the Andrew Hudson who served in the 34th Arkansas Infantry. That man was Andrew Jackson Hutson, a Pike County man. From other sources it is known that Andrew Hutson was conscripted and sent to Little Rock, where he was mustered into service as a private in Co. H, 34th Arkansas Infantry, on January 25, 1863. He was reported as a deserter during the Confederate retreat from Little Rock on September 10, 1863. The following year, on May 2, 1864, he took the oath of allegiance to the United States. Andrew Hutson was illiterate, so even though his name was spelled "Hudson" on the form of oath, he endorsed it with an "X".

The messed up record of Andrew Hudson in the 34th Arkansas involved transcription errors. If you look closely at the service cards, you will note that a clerk later reviewed the record and noted the errors with underlines and x's. These transcription errors didn't occur often, but when they do, researchers have to do some fancy detective work; for example, the mustering officer, Capt. James B. Hensley, wasn't promoted until October 3, 1862, so he couldn't have mustered Andrew Hutson into service on January 23, 1862. Obviously, the year is 1863, and the reviewing clerk noted that fact by underlining the "2" in 1862. That's the kind of hoops you have to jump through sometimes.

Finally, the 34th Arkansas didn't disband after the fall of Little Rock. It remained in service until the end of the war, disbanding at Marshall, Texas, when the Trans-Mississippi Department was formally surrendered.

I hope this helps.
