Thomas Bolding enlisted in Company G, 24th Arkansas Infantry, on June 19, 1862, at Camden, Union County, Arkansas. He was listed as absent without leave on December 31, 1862.

Interestingly, James A. Bolding and George W. Bolding, both from Union County, Arkansas, enlisted in Company G, 24th Arkansas Infantry on June 18 and July 4, 1862, respectively; they were also listed as being absent without leave on December 31, 1862. It is quite possible that the three Boldings are brothers or otherwise related.
