His brothers in the Confederate army were William L., who died after the war in Gibson county, Tenn., from the bite of a spider; P. M., who enlisted from Jackson parish, survived the war and died about 1875; Jefferson C., of the Twelfth Louisiana infantry, army of Tennessee, who was an extensive planter of Morehouse parish after the war until his death; and Andrew J., who had the rank of captain and was wounded in the left arm, in consequence of which amputation became necessary in 1871, causing his death.'"
