I would hazard a guess that George may have been the father of Hezekia & Samuel. I base this on the fact that he was discharged for disability within the month of his enlistment, perhaps due to age.

George Martin

George W. Slade enlisted as a Private in Captain Henry Pope's Company (Jeff Davis Sharp Shooters) 7th Mississippi Infantry,** October 5, 1861 at Bay St. Louis,

..................

..................

Samuel Slade, age 20, enlisted as a Private in Captain Henry Pope's Company (Jeff Davis Sharp Shooters) 7th Mississippi Infantry, September 27, 1861 at Bay St. Louis, transferred to 1st (Chalmers') Battalion Mississippi Sharp Shooters** June 25, 1862, slightly wounded in head in front of entrenchments, Brigades first position, at Murfreesboro December 2,1862, wounded September 20, 1863 and sent to hospital, dropped as a deserter August 30, 1864

[Ed. note - he very well may have returned later to the unit, absence for a certain length of time resulted in being recorded as a deserter. Subsequent company muster rolls may not have survived to be included in these compiled service record files]

**This company subsequently became Company C, 9th Battalion Mississippi Sharp Shooters

Samuel's picture will be found at: http://www.geocities.com/poboy1961/soldiers/aa.html
