On "The Inman Compendium" an Inman Family researcher tells this story about my Great-Great-Grandfather, Arthur Inman and my great-grandfather, Henderson Inman. An interesting piece of history is that Arthur Inman and one of his sons, John, joined the 1st AL Cavalry of the Union Army. Both were killed during the war. The war records indicate that John died of the measles, but a descendant told the story that both Arthur and John died from poisoning by a MS farmer's wife while foraging for food.
> Later, when Confederate recruiters were at the front door of Arthur Inman's house looking for Henderson, Henderson's mother, Nancy, delayed them while getting Henderson to run out the back door. He also joined the 1st AL Cavalry of the Union Army. At some time during the war, his right hand was crippled and he was discharged within the year at Memphis. He received disability pay afterwards. Military records show he was 5'7" with a dark complexion. Arthur Inman was the son of Benjamin Inman III. Arthur was married to Nancy Mitchell Inman. John and Henderson Inman were two of Arthur and Nancy's children.
