Welcome to the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi! This is a place where all who share an interest in the Civil War fought west of the Mississippi River can gather to ask questions, share information, and announce news.
Can anyone suggest or help with information on this unit. My great uncle fought with Company B, Slayback's Battalion, Cavalry, Missouri Volunteers, Brigadier General M. Jeff Thompson's Brigade, C.S.A. I have found his name several ways: James J. Payne, Jasper J. Payne, J. J. Payne. He was born in Greenway, Clay, Arkansas and served with this unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
