C.S.A” According to ancestry POW Records located on (38863) it stated: He was taken prisoner in Tennessee in April 1864. The above source listed him as a private and buried in grave number 707 at Camp Chase. According to www.fold3.com he was a 2nd Lieutenant in Company A of the 10th Tennessee Cavalry, however he resigned his commission in March of 1864 and it was accepted.
