      Writes Susan Clontz Ehret,

      "He enlisted from Iredell County at age 32, on Aug. 20, 1862 for the war,
      Co."B", 18th Regiment. He died at Harrsionburg,VA, on 11 Dec 1862 of desease.
      He left a wife and two small sons. Family history says the yankees burned her
      home. Someone took her in. She later had two more children, but apparently
      never remarried. She is buried in Lenoir at Lower Creek Baptist Church dying
      at age 42. It is not known where John Henry is buried. Probably a Confederate
      mound."
