Thomas H. McCray

As part of Churchill's division, his brigade distinguishing itself at the August 30, 1862 Battle of Richmond, Kentucky.

This brigade, consisting of the newly organized and ill-equipped 45th, 46th and 47th regiments of Arkansas cavalry/mounted infantry, performed poorly.

McCray retained a more or less nominal district command in northeast Arkansas, "powerless for good or for evil,"[3] till war's end.

McCray is referred to as a Confederate general in numerous sources,[4] among them Heitman's Historical Dictionary of the U.S.

[5] Eicher's "Civil War High Commands" labels him a general, but suggest that the rank was in Arkansas state forces, not Confederate.
