Harry May of Co. I, 3rd Ark. Cav.

My gggrandfather, Harry May, was a member of the 3rd AR Cav. I have been trying to figure out what became of him. He was given a promotion in the summer of 1864, about the time records stopped, according to the book, "The War Child's Children". He is not listed among those being pardoned, nor have I found any record of his death. If anyone should happen across a tombstone with his name on it, my family would be very grateful if we were to be notified. Also, if anyone has any idea how we might go about finding out what happened to him, please let us know. Thanks!

The NPS Soldier Sailor System's Summary for the

3rd Regiment, Arkansas Cavalry

3rd Cavalry Regiment was organized in July, 1861, and included the 1st (Borland's) Arkansas Cavalry Battalion and three companies of J. L. Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion. For a time it was stationed at Pocahontas, Randolph County, Arkansas, where at least some of the men were recruited. Originally called 1st Arkansas Mounted Volunteers, the C. S. War Department ordered its designation to be 3rd Cavalry on January 15, 1862. Only 395 effectives crossed the Mississippi River in 1862. It always had a manpower problem but participated in more engagements than any other Arkansas command. The regiment was dismounted when it fought at Corinth, then was remounted and assigned to General Armstrong's and T. Harrison's Brigade. It fought at Thompson's Station, Franklin, and Chickamauga, took part in the Knoxville and Atlanta Campaigns, and was active in the defense of Savannah and the campaign of the Carolinas. When the Army of Tennessee surrendered, few of its members were present. The field officers were Colonels Solon Borland, Samuel G. Earle, and Amson W. Hobson; Lieutenant Colonels Benjamin F. Danley, James M. Gee, and M. J. Henderson; and Majors William H. Blackwell, J. F. Earle, and David F. Shall.
