Hi: Am forwarding this from the Sebastian Co. AR mail list. Notice the mention of Thomas Hinds and Martin Hinds. My John Hinds and son David were in Lawrence Co. AR during this period. I wonder who Thomas and Martin are connected with. Does anyone have their service papers?

In July 1821 General Gaines ordered Colonel Matthew Arbuckle, then stationed at New Orleans, to hold the 7th Infantry in readiness to occupy the southwest frontier. Colonel Arbuckle and Companies B, C, G and H left in November 1821 on the steamboat Tennessee, but were detained at the mouth of the Arkansas River by low water. They were joined by Company K, that had arrived from Fort Scott, Georgia. The five companies proceeded up the Arkansas River, with the aid of keel boats and reached Fort Smith in February 1822. A large number of men died on this long passage and upon arrival at Fort Smith there remained 139 officers and men, including Colonel Arbuckle. The men of the Rifle Regiment, and Major Bradford, were transferred to the 7th Infantry on 27 February 1822… **************** COMPANY B: **************** Commanding: Colonel Mathew Arbuckle Captain: William Davenport 1st Lieutenant: John Heilbrick 2nd Lieutenant: E.S.
