He was the son of William Perry McKinstry and Ellen E McCain McKinstry.
The records don't show a James Logan McKinstry, but there is a J.L. McKinstry that is probably the same man. According to his service record. McKinstry joined the Confederate Army at Randolph, Tennessee in July 1861, he was 22 years old. He served as a private in Co. B, 13th Tennessee Infantry. He was severely wounded at the Battle of Stones River. Many of the severely wounded could not be moved when the Confederates retreated after the battle. McKinstry was one of those--he died of his wounds on January 19, 1863 in Murfreesboro. The record doesn't indicate where he was buried, he is not on the list of known Confederates buried at Evergreen, but it is quite possible that he is one of the unknowns buried.
