Danny,

Thanks, I did have the second one but not the first one. I wonder where this unit was from? I do know that many south Mississippi and SE La men joined the consolidated regiment from their names listed in the muster roll. I have been to the vicinity of Liberty MS and Jackson and Clinton LA and there are numerous headstones with 11 and 17 Ark on them. I even met an old man whose father (age 14 at the time) left his plow in the field and joined up with them as they rode through. Many canbe identified on the 11/17 muster roll by only having info that they were paroled 13 May 1865. Most of those were conscripts and those "local" folks from Miss and La.
