My 2g grandfather, O.C. DORTCH, was b. 30 March 1838 in AR; d. 22
September 1922 in Morrilton, Conway County, AR. O.C. DORTCH's father.
per the Certificate of Death, was H.S. DORTCH--informant was W.F. DORTCH
(O.C.'s son). I have been able to trace O. C. back to 1880 via U.S.
Census. He was listed as living in Pulaski County, AR with : sons
Harvey S., William T. ( F.), daughter Mary J., son Joseph M. and
mother-in-law Sarah JENKINS. I assume O. C.'s wife (family tradition
indicates wife was Philamine JENKINS) was deceased since she was not
listed and his mother-in-law was living in same household.

I would appreciate help in taking this line back another generation. I
have yet to find out who were the parents of O. C. I have found,
however an A. C./O.C. b. about the same time with the Signal (Sigual
(?)) DORTCH family of Saline/Grant Counties. There was an O. C. DORTCH
listed as part of the Company E, 12th Arkansas Infantry and latter in
Company I of Cockes Regt. where was listed as a deserter at Bayou Meto.
There is an Olsey C. DORTCH who was part of the 4th Arkansas Union
Cavalry. Could it be possible the Confederate O. C. DORTCH and the Union
Olsey C. DORTCH be one in the same? Can anyone find records for either
of the above military units and share with me additional information? I
would be very grateful.
