  • Notes 
    • NOTE1./ The entire 1860 collection of Sumter County, Georgia, census images was reviewed at ancestry.com on 11-1-2002, by this author. The Thomas L Singletary, (age 30), family # 690, was living next door to the Artur Singletary, (age 40), family # 691. The only other Singletary in this 1860 Sumter census was a John Singletary, age 12, living with Ax (age 33), and his wife? Ridley, (age 18), Bafs? family #536. Beside this husband and wife?, this John Singletary, is the only other resident of this household. Interestingly enough, Family # 689, living beside these two aforementioned Singletary families, is that of Rise and Susan Bafs? and their 3 children. Thus, it would seem that this isolated John Singletary, age 12, would be a relation of some kind to the Singletary families # 690 & #691, and may have been arranged by the next door neighbour relationship of the Bafs family. Clearly however in 1860 in Sumter County Georgia, there were only two distinct Singletary family units with heads of household.

      NOTE 2./ In the 1860 Sumter census, Families # 672 and # 685 are of the surname Suber, and both parents were born in South Carolina. However, there was no enumeration of an Ellen Hazeltine Suber, who would later become John Lock Singletary's wife. It seems that Ellen Hazeltine had married her 1st husband, Jesse Smith by the 1860 census, and was living with him in Randolph County, Georgia.

      NOTE 4./ Short summary of the Battle of JACKSON, MISS. MAY 14TH, 1863 when John L Singketary was taken as a POW.

      Jackson, Miss., May 14, 1863. 15th and 17th Army Corps. After the occupation of Raymond the Federals moved on Jackson, Sherman's corps (the 15th) moving by way of Mississippi Springs and McPherson's (the 17th) advancing on the Clinton road. During the early morning the rain came down in torrents, making the roads heavy and in some places almost impassable. By 10 a.m. Sherman was within 3 miles of the city and the sound of McPherson's guns was heard on the left. The enemy was discovered in the front of Sherman at a small bridge, and as the head of the Federal column appeared opened
      with artillery. The 2nd and 3rd brigades of Tuttle's division were deployed to the right and left of the road and Waterhouse's and Spoor's batteries, placed on commanding ground, soon silenced the enemy's pieces, the whole Confederate force retiring about half a mile into a skirt of woods in front of Jackson. Mower's brigade (2nd) followed closely until the enemy took refuge in his intrenchments. The banks of the stream at this point were high bluffs, and the river could be crossed only at the bridge which the enemy did not attempt to destroy. As far as could be seen on either side were the Confederate intrenchments and a steady artillery fire which enfiladed the road was kept up from all points.
      The 95th Ohio was taken from the reserve and sent to feel the Enemy's flanks. It was soon discovered that the intrenchments were abandoned where they crossed the railroad and Steele's division was pushed into the city that way, the rest of the column following on the main road. McPherson, meantime, had also been fighting severely but entered the city almost simultaneously with Sherman. The Federal loss was 42 killed, 251 wounded and 7 captured or missing. Brig.-Gen. John Gregg, commanding the Confederate forces at Jackson, roughly estimates his loss at 200 killed, wounded and missing; Union
      reports make it over 800.
