SERVICE CLARIFIED***. Pvt. Seborn Hearn Wilson [found as "Seaborn Wilson" in the military records] (b. Jackson County, MS, 1833-d. Jackson County, MS, 1918), Co. F ("Capt. Stevens' Company," raised in Greene & Perry Counties, MS), 17th (Steede's) Battalion MS Cavalry (aka, the "Lovell Rangers"). Enlisted Sept. 1, 1862, in Jackson County, MS, at age 29. On Dec. 24, 1863, Capt. Stevens' Company became Co. D, 9th (Miller's) MS Cavalry. Absent on Dec. 1864 company muster roll, with notation "absent without leave." No further information in his military file with this command. Buried in the Wilson Family Cemetery, 30.685333 -88.807975, located at the N terminus of Wilson Cemetery Road, Jackson County, MS, with a private marker. [***Note: Some databases state that Seborn Hearn Wilson served in Street's Battalion MS Cavalry, but he has no records in that command and never served in same. The confusion lies in the fact that his actual command (Steede's Battalion) sound so much like his presumed command (Street's Battalion).]
