Company Unknown
Charles S Shields - Private
Charles S. Shields was triplet brother of Isaac Denton Shields (4th Ark Infantry) --born in March 1834 in Cumberland KY and moved with his family to Hempstead County (town Washington) AR. The other triplet brother died in childhood at the age of 10. Charles enlisted as a private in the 24th Ark Infantry at its formation, I think in June of 1862. He like so many other civil war soldiers died of disease in camp with his regiment in Jefferson County Ark on Oct 2, 1862 and is buried in the local confederate cemetery--White Sulfur Springs Cemetery. He was survived by his wife and had 3 children, one of whom died before the war as an infant, and the third child was born a mere 5 days before my great great uncle's demise, so sad.

Company H
Robert Reuben Williams - Sergeant
Robert was my GG Grandfather. He was born in Henderson Co, TN in 1839. He moved to Mena, AR in 1855 and joined the Confederacy on 25 June 1862. He was in Co. H, 24th, Regt Ark Inf CSA. He was also in Co E, Dawsons Regt. I show him as a Major at the end of the war.

Robert was a Confederate the rest of his life. He flew his flag on his wall all year except Confederate Day when it flew outside his home. He also wore his Confederate uniform on that day and walked around Cumby, TX where he lived. He lived to be 101 and wore the uniform until it wore out. One was rented for his 100th birthday & he was also buried in his originial uniform.

Company K
Payton Marion EppersonRank Unknown
Captured at Arkansas Post. Paroled from POW camp. Enlisted in Company H, Arkansas Dawon's-Hardy's Infantry Regiment and probably fought at Chickamauga.(Not to be confused with Peyton M. Epperson, born in 1811 who served with the Union 4th Arkansas.) There is also a listing for a pension application with the Union outfit his brother George T. was in, with the spelling Payton. Perhaps Payton switched sides towards the end of the war?
