In Response To: 8th Ms Infantry ()

There are 26 cards in his record which can be ordered by clicking in the red-outlined box above. Didn't see any reference to being wounded, but he was sick, both in the hospital and in quarters on several muster rolls. Captured at Adairsville, GA May 18, 1864 - sent to Rock Island, Illinois prison. In October he attempted to become a "Galvanized Yankee". He signed the oath of allegiance and tried to enlist in the US Army but was rejected by the mustering officer - probably because of his age - listed as 48, and his state of health.
