  • Notes 
    • In 1862, William enlisted at Greenville, AL into the 1st (GA) Confederate Regiment, Co. H. On 7 Dec 1864, he was captured at StoneRiver, TN and transported to Nashville. From there, he was shipped via railroad cattle car to Louisville, KY. Then, he was tr ansferred to Camp Chase (near Columbus) OH, where he succumbed to pneumonia on11 Feb 1865. Camp Chase was a notorious prison camp that cost the lives of many a brave confederate soldier. Many prisoners were shot just for responding too slowly to a command.

      His widow, Louisa, filed for a pension from the State of Alabama , and the application stated that he served in the 1st Alabama Regiment.
