Stephen was listed as sick in St Johns Hospital in LittlemRock July 1863, right before Little Rock fell. Will check and see if he shows up at all on POW ledger. If he died in the hospital then his remains are prolly in one of two mass graves Eire at LR Natl Cem where over 600 are interred or Oakwood right next to natl cem where about 900 are buried. William did not desert per say but he did leave the 8th...but he joined up with Freeman's Mo Cavalry without authority and was present as late as Jan 1864. David was left sick at Pittmans Ferry in Oct 1862, still listed as absent in 1864 but never listed as a deserter. He is listed as included in the surrender at the end of the war which makes me think he returned to duty, as they would not have carried him on the rolls if he deserted.
