Dear Clyde, Documents obtained by Robert (Bob) Benton of Oklahoma City show that Thomas Newton McCright was drafted into the Confederate Army on August, 26, 1862. He was assigned to Company B, 15th Regiment, Texas Cavalry and was captured by the Union Army on January 11, 1863 at Arkansas Post, located about 150 miles below Little Rock, Arkansas, on the Arkansas River, near where it empty's into the Mississippi River. Thomas's brother, Quinton, was in Company G, 17th Regiment, Texas Cavalry and was also captured at Arkansas Post. Both Thomas and Quinton were in what was called Deshler's Brigade and were deployed near each other during the battle. The death certificate said that Thomas died of Jaundice. I believe you can take that with a grain of salt. Quinton did not get sent to Camp Douglas and survived the war. Thank you for the offer of information but as you can see I have quite a lot.
