Well just because his records do not show him in Slayback's doesn't mean he didn't, but he was surrendered as part of 8th Missouri. William's record says he served without authority in Freeman's but you won't find him listed in the records on Freeman's rolls, so in The Trans Miss you have to take all info with a grain of salt. Records were not kept well and I presume some were destroyed to keep them out of. Yankee hands
