My Confederate ancestor James J. (J.J.) Edgemon, Company B, 5th Tenn. Cavalry (McKenzie's). My 2nd great grand father.
In his Confederate military service record. He enlisted in 1862 at age 33, which was pretty old to enlist as a Private back then. He was discharged that same year for disability. His military service appears to be honorable.
There are several Edgmons in McKenzie's Fightin' Fifth. Some of the other names are: William T. Edgmon, Samuel, another William who died in Nashville on 7 Jan 1864 as a POW and is buried in City Cemetery, Pollard a 2nd Sgt. in Company H, another James who was captured in Shelbyville, TN and was a POW at Camp Morton, Ind.
