Yes, that record prompted me to believe the volunteer who served in the 26th Mississippi must be someone else. The initial post concerned what sounded like a parole issued for a Mississippi soldier at the end of the war. Since JLM clearly was far from away from Mississippi or Arkansas when the war ended, I didn't see how there could be any connection.

The original post mentions "James L Martin...a Mississippi trooper...that eneded up in Ada,Arkansas...I have his Mississippi 1865 Parole paper."

The oath of allegiance taken by JLM would list his command, so there wouldn't be any need for an inquiry. I took it that this "Mississippi trooper" signed his parole at Ada in 1865, and of course, the 26th Mississippi was never a mounted command. It now seems that Frank meant that his man eventually came to be a resident of Ada.

Could the "Mississippi 1865 Parole paper" be the oath of allegiance that JLM signed at Point Lookout MD? I'd like to know more about this "Mississippi 1865 Parole paper". It supposedly has an 1865 date and the name James L. Martin, which could be James S. Martin. That's all I know. There are a lot of missing puzzle pieces.
