Linda, your memory is good. I do live in Little Rock, and members of my Culpepper line have been in Arkansas (primarily Jefferson and Grant counties) since the 1840s, trickling over in a slow but steady stream from Alabama.

I posted the information about Columbus, Miss., as it's a rather vivid description of the "backstage" area (the rail depot) of an early and important hospital center for Confederate forces in the region. That said, I'd be interested to know if someone familiar with that area might know the current proximity of where "Bluett's Bridge" once crossed Luxapalila Creek.
