      He was a private in Capt. Larkin Ferrill's Co. of Militia Infantry, attached to the 7thBrigade W. TN Militia Infantry. Muster Roll bears this note: Each non-commissioned officer and private traveled 180 miles from Huntsville, where mustered in and from Paint Rock, where discharged, to residence in Williamsburg, Jackson Co., TN.
