Rank unknown

I have a copy of his sworn statement that reads 'I Stephen J Still do solemnly swear that I was conscripted or forced into the Confederate service some time in 1863 in Col. Shailins regiment in Matthews County but I do not remember the letter of the company or the number of the regiment. I served about 4 months and as soon as I could make my escape from them I went and enlisted in the US Army where I wanted to be all the time from the commencement of the war.' This was notorized in 1899. He was with the 2nd Cavalry on the Union side. This is denoted on his headstone in Osborne Cemetery near St. Joe Arkansas

Company D

Captain

My direct descendent Great, Great Grandfather. Looking for information on George W. Campbell, Captain, 14th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, CSA. So far all I can find is that he enlisted served in Company D under Powers and died on December 31, 1862, of disease outside of Mississippi. The Arkansas 14th (Mitchell''s-Powers'') Infantry Regiment was organized during the fall of 1861 with 939 officers and men recruited in the northwestern region of the state. They fought at Elkhorn Tavern and later moved east of the Mississippi River. The regiment reported 17 casualties out of the 116 engaged at Iuka, and there were 12 wounded and 2 missing at Corinth. I would like to know where he was buried.
