James A. Hill, age 27, operated a farm near Americus GA. He's on the Georgia state census of men available for militia service, January 1864, 884th Militia District of Sumter County. Since there are no other "J" Hills in Sumter on the citizens register mentioned, he's likely your man.

D. A. Mayo appears in the 789th Militia District, age 36, a bricklayer. George A. Brown is also listed there, age 38, a government agent, as well as W. H. D. Cook, age 44, a shoemaker. C. W. Morgan is registered in the 1105th Militia District, age 36, a farmer.

Based on age and occupation, James Hill didn't have an exemption. Perhaps he purchased a substitute or had a physical disability, such as being blind in one eye or having a deformed limb.
