Parents Isaac (1790-186?) and Mary "Polley" (Denson) Rhodes
Served in Company A of the 6th Mississippi Infantry
Served under Captain James Basil Enochs (1835-1921) and future governor of Mississippi, Robert Lowry (1829-1910).
Died at the Battle of Franklin (according to wife's pension record).
Timeline of Events:
1834-Born to Isaac and Mary Rhodes
March 14, 1859-Death of wife, Lucinda Johnson following the birth of his son, Jeremiah
1861/1862-Married Catherine McCurdy in Mississippi
August 4, 1862- Enlisted through a "May Clark" to become a private in Company A of the 6th Mississippi
May 16 or May 17, 1863-Captured in Hinds County Mississippi at either Raymond or Baker's Creek
June 1, 1863-Paid by Captain Stevens

June 30, 1863-Received payment through Captain Hickinson
July 4, 1863- Exchanged and released from Fort Delaware POW Camp
November/December 1864- Died during/after the Battle of Franklin in Franklin, Williamson, Tennessee
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Thomas appears in a muster roll at Camp Morton, Indiana POW camp (likely 1863, but not confirmed)
There have been multiple dates as to when Thomas Rhodes enlisted, some records say August 24, 1861, while some others say August 1, 1862 and Catherine's pension says he enlisted in August of 1863, so (give or take) I went with the enlistment date most mentioned.
BURIAL LOCATION
------------------------
I have checked as to whether or not Thomas is or is not buried in the McGavock Cemetery in Franklin, Tennessee. Thomas is either buried in McGavock in the unknown section, in an unmarked grave anywhere in Franklin, or is still somewhere on the battlefield.
