Sergeant James Martin Sims, Co - E, 17th (Lemoyne's) Arkansas Infantry Regiment (1835 - 1862) is my 3rd great grandfather. His Birthday is 19 Jan 1835, he was Scotch-Irish and from Pope County Arkansas, he was married and had one son, The 17th Was reorganized on May 15, 1862 to become the 21st Arkansas Infantry Regiment. His Death was on 30 Jun 1862 in Corinth, Mississippi.

Their were [2] 17th Ark Infantry Regiments. Lemoyne's & Griffin's George served with Lemoyne's. under several Brigade commander's including Cock's Co F and Co K Hawthorns. He enlisted 21 July 1862 at Briggsville, Yell Co. Ark. and was elected Captain. He was severely wounded 7 Dec 1862 at he battle of Prairie Grove and was discharged as disabled. At that time it seems he was in 2nd Brigade commanded by Brig. Gen Fagan, Price's Division District of Arkansas. This units formation and several consolidations makes it difficult to follow its organizational structure.
