On the Campaign
From General Hood's Report:
I would be wrong in not acknowledging the valuable services rendered during the several engagements, in transmitting orders, of the following couriers of this command: M. M. Templeman, T. W. C. Lake, J.P. Mahoney, James Malone, W. E. Duncan, J. A. Mann, W. J. Barbee, W. G. Jesse, J. I. Haggerty, and J. H. Drake.He was with his Company in action at Fox's Gap on South Mountain on 14 September and at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862, where he was captured.
The rest of the War
He was paroled at Sharpsburg on 21 September and was back on duty by November. He was captured again, on the Nansemond River in May 1863 and paroled at Fortress Monroe, VA on 13 May. He was slightly wounded in the side on 16 August 1864, place not given, and was furloughed to Starkville, MS for 35 days in September. There is no later military record.
