I am not certain when he was wounded or where, he left West Point MS with approximately 3000 and was to meet other commands with Forrest enroute to meet Wilson. I believe they did not reach all the other commands to fill out the needs of Forrest but I think Forrest went on to meet Wilson. I am not sure of times or dates that he left his command ( I have been wrong before) but I think the last wound ended it for him at that time. He retired to raise horses and farm and later committed suicide. He was one of the most reliable officer that Forrest had and I believe he led the 3rd Mounted Infantry Regiment all the time they were with Forrest and also while they were at Vicksburg.
