Cumberland Polk escaped at Memphis, TN after the Arkansas Post capture.

'The prisoners were loaded onto riverboats, one being the Sam Gaty, which was loaded by 7 P. M. on January 12, and steamed down the river about one mile the next day. The Gaty lay at this location all that day, waiting for other boats to arrive so they could travel in the protection of a convoy. Departing about 2 p. m. on the 14th for Memphis, Tenn., they reaching the mouth of the river, and remained all night. River travel can be precarious at best, and was dangerous after nightfall. The pilot needed vision to avoid sand bars or tree trunks floating down the river. Jan. 15th, was cold and snowing as they started up the River, arriving at Memphis at sunset the next day. Five men escaped at Memphis, James T. Anderson (I), John H. Bell (I), Sgt. Castle (H), Cum Polk (B) and John A. Turner (I). Procuring a skiff, they crossed the river, making their way to Little Rock overland, and on to their homes. The local citizens at Memphis were kind when they arrived, but 2 days later. the boats loaded with prisoners left at 8 A. M., bound for St. Louis, Mo.'

Co I 19th Arkansas Infantry (Dockery’s). Organized March 3, 1862 in Union County. Killed or died of disease during the Vicksburg campaign.

Pvt. C.C. Harlow was captured at Arkansas Post 11 Jan 1863. Sent to Camp Douglas, Ill. and exchanged at City Point, VA 10 Apr 1863. I can find no other record after that, except that he died 14 Feb 1864. I know that after the exchange the 19th was assigned to Cleburne's Division, Hardee's Corps, Army of Tennessee. Also 23 of the exchanged prisioners did not return to active duty. I would like to find out if Pvt. Harlow returned to duty.

Thanks P.Maloney

There are apparently no record of Charles Boden Hogue serving but he filed for a pension in 1924 and signed an Affidavit that he joined this regiment in April 1864 and surrendered in May of 1865. Two men who served with him also verified that they had served with him.
