Henry Bassett - Private
Henry Bassett is my 3rd great grandmother's brother's son. He was a private in the 3rd Arkansas Confederate Calvary, Company F. He died in May of 1863. I don't have his records from Fold3 it'd be nice to have them though. Her brother and two nephews also served for Arkansas. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/207365712/henry-bassett
