One of the benefits of enlisting in Colonel Arthur Hood's 29th Georgia Cavarly Battalion was the condition that the men were to be used within 100 miles of their homes. When Company C enlisted its members from South Georgia Henry Singleton probably knew that this may be his best bet. While escorting a wagon train near Madison, Fl he and others were ambushed in 1864. Private Singleton was wounded and taken prisoner. The Union took him to Key West, Fl via the US Navy and held him as a prisoner of War. While there Henry Singleton died and an Union Army Captain named Barry wrote to Henry's wife Elizabeth explaining his fate. Henry was buried in Key West and his body stayed there until 1927. Maybe it was because of the 1927 hurricane or perhaps it had nothing to do with it however bodies were disinterred from Key West to Barrancas in Pensacola in 1927. Today from what I understand are two unknown Confederate graves in Barrancas. One of them is probably the remains of Private Henry Singleton of Company C of the 29th Georgia Cavalry Battalion. The information for this short article was taken from CMSR's and pension records of Elizabeth Singleton and the descriptive regimental history and some other research data. Just as this man deserves a tombstone his story as that of all soldiers should be told. Henry Singleton's descendants knew nothing of their ancestor only that he went to War and never returned home.
