Thomas Clay Farrar

Thomas Clay Farrar is my 3xgreatgrandfather. I know that he fought in the Civil War as a Confederate from the State of Arkansas.  I am fairly certain that this is the father of James Thomas Farrar.  I'm hoping that finding his actual pension record and looking at the actual paperwork might shed more light on his children so I can make sure it is him.  Or finding an obituary of some kind for him will help as well.  Until that time, here is his family sheet from Family Tree Maker:
