Before Sharpsburg
Age 23, from Person County, he enlisted in Roxboro, NC on 7 March 1862 and mustered as Private in Company A, 24th North Carolina Infantry. He was captured in action at Malvern Hill (or White Oak Swamp), VA on 1 July 1862.
On the Campaign
He was sent to a hospital in Frederick, MD by 12 September, left behind, and captured there.
The rest of the War
He was paroled on 3 October but died of disease in US Army General Hospital #1 in Frederick, MD on 9 October 1862. He was originally buried "along the west side and in cemetery [Mt Olivet] at Frederick [Maryland]."
His widow Lucy A. Monk filed a claim for his final pay of $23.30 in March 1863; it was probably paid in November 1864.

He was probably reinterred at Hagerstown in about 1874.
