Hi, haven't checked exact date, but I think you are referring to the Battle of Pea Ridge. The museum is in whitewater country between Simponsville and Missouri, or Fort Smith and Eureka Springs. The battlefield was scaterred over a several mile line. Gen. Stand Waite and his Confederate Cherokees and Intermarrieds on Cherokee rolls were one group there. This was near some activity of Youngers, Daltons, and James Brothers- not sure how many of them were. My Grandad Carey's Uncle was injured there. According to records cousin Rex Carey got from Hoytt Hawkins in the Sulfur Springs, Texas area, Grandad's Uncle was injured and laid among the dead and dying until someone on a burial detail saw him move. He recoverred and kept records for his daughter's store.in Pine Mountain, Charleston, Arkansas & family spread into Hope and Nashville areas before Texas Have some more on him if anyone is interested. He claimed to have never drank hard liquor as a beverage nor used God's name in vain or other rougher type profanity. If you said "Good Lordy" around my grandparents you were instantly repirmanded. His brother was Jasper Newton Carey Grandad John Henry said he came on a or the Pig Trail from Hope to Huckaby , Texas, about 1900with a stove, a pump organ, a trunk, a milk cow, and a dog. I was in Mena arkansas doing contract Discover card work a few days and folk there gave me tourists brochures on THE PIG TRAIL- A PREHISTORIC NATIVE AMERICAN TRAIL from Mena , Arkansas down a curved Ouachita Mountain ridge which comes out near the Red River betweeen Fredrick and Broken Bow. Arkansas wagon trains used this route to Texas to avoid Caddo lake and several swamps and rivers. They had a shallow ford or ferry on the Red River, from which you could go to Sulfur Springs or towards Dallas, where crossings for the Trinity and the Brazos were well developped and you were in Erath County, 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Parents of Jasper Newton Carey were Daniel Carey b. 1810 & Sarah Cannon, b. 1804, apparently both in North Carolina and Grandparents Michael b. 1760. G. Grandparents William Carey b. Worchester Co. Maryland in 1733. Sources handwritten records from family sources and Bibles in possession of Williw Ann Carey Ramage. Take care, Charles Wyly
