(c. 1842 - 1862)
Home State: North Carolina
Branch of Service: Infantry
Before Sharpsburg
In 1860 he was an 18 year old living with his parents and 4 siblings on their small farm at Rock Spring in Montgomery County, NC. He enlisted in Raleight, NC on 16 July 1861 and mustered as a Private in Company F, 14th North Carolina Infantry.
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 admitted to US Army General Hospital #1 in Frederick and died there of disease on 6 October 1862. He was originally buried "on west side of, and in the cemetery [Mt. Olivet] at Frederick."
His father Daniel filed a claim for his final pay of $55.06 in March 1863. It was finally paid in January 1864.
After the War
He was probably reinterred at Hagerstown in about 1874, but may still be at Mt Olivet.
