In my recent posting re G. H. Hollingsworth, I mentioned that he served in my gr grandfather's Civil War unit - which is why I requested the documents in the first place. It was suggested that I pass on the information about his unit in case it is of interest to anyone doing research on Civil War units in the area. More detailed nformation about the unit can be found on the Benton County web site. In brief, it was a home guard unit know as Capt. Ayres' Volunteer Infantry. R. W. Ayres organized the unit and was elected Capt. in which capacity he served for a year. He then left the outfit when it was reorganized as part of the regular army and was know as Capt. Williams Cavalry. I don't have any further info on the unit except the little additional info I got from the Hollingsworth papers. When the original unit became a cavalry unit it was required that each man either supply his own horse or buy one from the army. Apparently, a number of men could not afford to do so and left the unit. This included Mr. Hollingsworth who was injured and had dependent family to try to help support. Williams Cavalry served throughout the war, but I don't have a history of the unit. I don't know if this will help anyone much, but I thought I would pass it along. Thanks.
