I am looking for any information on Mathew Hale. He was a member of the 18th (Marmadukes) Arkansas Infantry Regiment Confederate States of America. He had two brothers who possibly enlisted with him. I do not know their first names.

Thanks...Sharon

My ggg grandfather. He lived around Yarbro or Blytheville, Mississippi County, Arkansas, he was married to Elizabeth 'Bettie' Bunch. He enlisted July 4, 1861 at age 24 at Mill Bayou, AR supposedly along with his brothers-in-law Elijah 'Eli' Bunch and William Rodney Bunch. They belonged to 18th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Marmadukes's), Company C. Eli supposedly named his son after Marmaduke, his name was John Marmaduke Bunch.

Benjamin Crippen joined with his older brother, John 'Hunter' Crippen in 1861. Ben was only fourteen, but was large for his age. According to Company E survivor William Francis Eppes, Ben was shot in battle (presumably Shiloh) and Eppes and his brother put him under a tree. When Eppes returned to the tree later, the tree had taken fire and Ben was missing. No one heard from him and the family assumed he was buried in an unmarked grave.
