According to the June 4, 1860 census he was 31. So he must had been born between January and June 4 1830.

His last known residence was Newnan, Coweta, Georgia in 1860.

His last child was conceived in January or February 1865 and she was born in Oct. 1865.

I believe he fought in the Battle of Columbus (1865) Phenix City ALABAMA

He might be buried in the section where the Confederate Soldiers are buried.


On the morning of April 17, 1865, General Wilson ordered the destruction of all resources in Columbus that could aid the Confederate war effort. Most significantly, the ironclad CSS Muscogee (also known as the CSS Jackson) was burned and sunk. A large number of Confederate prisoners were captured. The CSS Chattahoochee was scuttled to prevent it from falling into Union hands.

The number of casualties in the battle is unknown, but there were a minimum of 145. The local Linwood cemetery has a significant section dedicated to the graves of Confederate soldiers. By the end of the day on April 17, 1865, much of the city of Columbus had been reduced to ashes
