Looking for help locating a soldier

Looking for any information on Confederate Soldier Reece Alba Arnold (may be listed as Reece Alby or RA Arnold). I do not have his unit but he probably enlisted near Gibson county Tennessee and I do know a pension was filed fir. Appreciate any information or help.

I found Reese Alby Arnold in the 12th Tennessee. This unit had a lot of Gibson County boys. Pension application S1645. Wife appears to be Sarah Jane- application W7357.
Maybe will get you started- good luck!

My wife and I visited every county courthouse in Tennessee. We wanted to see the state and we needed a destination so we picked the 95 county courthouses. We got into studying the buildings and local history.
With that being said Gibson County has a Beautiful courthouse. I have not been able to prove it but we had a couple of local tell us that the reason they didn't put a back door in was because it was facing North and they wanted to tell the Yankees to kiss their a**. Lol. Even if it wasn't true it was a neat story and to think there are still people around telling it.
