William Hughes

In the book "Turnbo's Tales of the Ozarks: War and Guerrilla Stories," there is a story about William Hughes and his oldest son, William who were on opposing sides at Prairie Grove. They were from Texas County according to the book. Iin the 1860 census of Texas County I found William Hughes (aged 42 or so) so Samuel 18, and son William 11, so I assume the story has the son wrong.

Can anybody tell me what units the father (William, Union) and the son (Confederate) were in?
