I realize the confederacy military files are not in Washington DC and believe they are at a state level?? The person in question is the late Colonel Sanford C. 'Sandy' Faulkner (1806-1874) who was a teller of tall tales, fiddle player, and composer of the popular fiddle tune The Arkansas Traveller which was the State song of Arkansas from 1949-1963. Colonel Faulkner served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and was at one point placed in command of the Arsenal at Little Rock, Arkansas. I have done "google" type searchings etc., and have found him with a wife Evalyn/Evaline (sp) but am curious as to know if he may have been married prior to her and to a Katherine Sinex (or Sinexon). Family history (lore) from the Sinexon branch is that he was married to their Katherine & they were the parents of 9 children. The descendants of the Faulkner line are not quite happy questioning that their man was, or might have been married previously. Thank you for taking the time to read this, especially since the question is not really of Civil War. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

Antoinette In Pulaski Arkansas in 1840 census there was a S C Faulkner, born in Kentucky: 3 children under 5 1 male child 15-19 1 male 30-39 1 male 60-69 1 female child under 5 3 female children 5-9 1 female 20-29 1 female 40-49 This looks like a man (born 1810-1819 and wife born 1820-1829) some children and perhaps parents. In Pulaski Arkansas in 1860 there is a S C Faulkner who is 56 years old (b.1804) married to an Evaline 10 years younger. This would make this fellow 57 years old at the commencement of the war. There is an S C Faulkner who was on the Confederate States General Staff. There was also an S. Faulkner who enlisted in the Ark 30th Infantry which would not be likely for a man that old although certainly possible. No other information was given on these two.
