Resided in Maury County Tennessee at the time of enlistment which was June 4, 1861 at Columbia in Maury County; mustered into Company D, 2nd Battalion Cavalry (Tennessee), Confederate on June 4th; status of soldier states it is unknown if this soldier survived the war, which is not an isolated case as 99% of the Battalion's roster is listed likewise.

Family information passed down says he is buried in the "Oliver" cemetery, but recently discovered that the Old Rosemont was once called the Oliver Cemetery. From an original transcription comes this information: "History: The Old Rosemont Cemetery was formerly known as the Ransom Thompson Cemetery.... the land was later owned by W. J.
Oliver who began laying off and selling lots. The first lot was sold in the 1840s.... the Northern section of the cemetery was owned by Mrs. Sena McNeil and it too was laid off and sold in lots."

His grave is unmarked and the exact location within the cemetery is unknown.
