There is a Confederate soldier from White County named Thomas Price. This Thomas Price enlisted in Co. E, 7th Battalion Arkansas Infantry, at Pocahontas, Arkansas, on November 16, 1861. The 7th Battalion was consolidated with the 8th Regiment, and Thomas Price was transferred to (new) Co. K, 8th Arkansas Infantry, on May 7, 1862. He was captured at the Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, on September 19, 1863, and was received at the Federal military prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois, on October 7, 1863. He was held there until the end of the war, and was released on June 14, 1865. He applied for a Confederate pension from White County in 1901. He died on September 23, 1908, and his widow Susan E. Price applied for a Confederate pension in 1909. The pension file number is 14156.

If you relate to this man, Thomas Price, and his family, I would love to hear from you.
He would be a nephew, it appears to Fielding and Frederick Price. Where is this Thomas Price buried? Anyone know?
I am interested also in what became of his dad as he was a brother to Frederick and Fielding, my great great great grandfather
