This page is about the soldiers of Waldron Arkansas. All these men are connected to Waldron in one way or another. Some came to Waldron to enlist, while others lived there and some are buried there. During the Civil War there were a few Skirmishes in and around Waldron, and some on this list took too part in them.
I would like to thank Wanda Gray, who is a professional historian, plus, a Commissioner, appointed by the Governor of the state of Arkansas on the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives, for with out her help this page would not have been possible.

Important note. Some of these name will be repeated, however some names will have more information then others, it would be best to read all the repeated names to be sure to get all the information.

The following information was taken from the History of Arkansas.
Gangs of bushwhackers and marauding bands early began terrorizing the county. In September, 1863, the Federal forces, consisting of the 14th Kan- sas cavalry, arrived in the county and marched on Waldron. Major Featherston and Captain Isaac Bag- well were in command at that place with a small guard. In a surprise attack on September 11, the Federals captured the Confederate forces and held the town. The losses on the Union side were one killed and two wounded. The Confederate losses are not known, although Major Featherston was seriously wounded.
Scouting parties were then sent out by the Federals. The first of these went down Dutch Creek on December 9, and another went from Waldron to Dallas in Polk County on Dec. 11, 1863. Still another proceeded from Waldron to Baker Springs in Howard County through the celebrated Forem Gap in January, 1864. This last party lost one man killed and one man wounded on its journey. Another skirmish occurred at Waldron on February 1, in which one man was wounded.
After this battle the Federals evacuated Waldron on Feb, 4, 1864. The Federal forces were commanded by Lieut. Col. Ov^^en A. Bassett, and later by Lieut. Col. Searl of Col. James Johnson's Regiment of First Arkansas Infantry, organized at Fayetteville in March, 1863. Many citizens of the county enlisted with the Union forces after the Federals had taken possession of the country. Another battle took place at Waldron on Dec. 29, 1864, in which two men were killed and six wounded. When the Union forces evacuated Waldron, they set fire to every house in town except those of William G. Featherston and Elijah Leming. Featherston's residence had been the Union headquarters, and Leming was thought to be a Federal sympathizer. His residence was burned after the troops had departed, supposedly by Confederate agents.

1st ARKANSAS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY REGIMENT (UNION) SOLDIER DEATHS IN WALDRON, SCOTT COUNTY, ARKANSAS, WINTER 1863-1864.
By Historian Wanda M. Gray.
“In November 1862, authority was given to Major General [John M.] Schofield, then commanding the ‘Army of the Frontier,’ to Dr. James M. Johnson, of Huntsville, Madison County, Arkansas to raise [Federal/Union] infantry troops from the state. On 25 March 1863, the regiment was raised, and Dr. Johnson was mustered into service as its colonel.”
When this regiment was mustered in, it had ten companies (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,K,[no company J]), 36 commissioned officers, and 810 enlisted men.
The deceased soldiers listed below were assigned duty in Waldron, Arkansas where they lived in tents from September 1863 through the spring of 1864.

Civil War Pensioners From Around The World.
Over the years I had people write to me and tell me they can’t find any more information on their ancestor, and as they put it, “it’s like they fell off the face of the earth.” Well I usually tell them they may have changed their name for one reason or other, or they may have died, and are in some unknown cemetery because the family never recorded it.
I never gave it much thought, if you can’t find him, you just can’t find him. But I know there is some record some where on them, you just have to keep hunting. Then the other day I was working on a new pension list called; (A Few More Pensioners From The Civil War. ) http://civilwarthosesurnames.blogspot.com/2011/04/few-more-pensioners-from-civil-war.html I found some records that showed there were thousands of civil was vets all over the world. Right after the war not only did the civil war vet cross across the United States but other countries as will.
This page will be different then the one stated above, this information will be a list of the countries were you can find these vets. Now some of these countries will only have 1-8 vets, while others will have hundreds. Just remember the next you want to say; “He fall off the face of the earth.” remember this page it might be a help to you. I will give one example.
Note. If you thank that maybe your ancestor is in one of these countries, write me and I will take a look.
Example 1.
Phaley Cunningham, Ireland, Post office address Newry. He was a private of the 83rd., Ohio infantry, company C. He was given a pension of $18., per month, for the loss of his left arm. Commencement of his allowance was in December of 1863.
