SMALL, ANDREW J(ACKSON), Co H [7th Tennessee Cavalry], was in the battle of Lexington, TN in December 1862. Presumed captured with the regiment at Union City, TN on 3/24/64, he was imprisoned in Andersonville in Georgia and other eastern prisons but was exchanged through Vicksburg, MS in April 1865. Small was one of the six members of the 7th Tennessee who died on the ill-fated steamer "Sultana" upstream from Memphis, TN on 4/27/65. The Andersonville site says he survived but his muster roll says he died on 4/27/65, the date of the disaster. He was the son of Andrew Jackson and Mary Seago Small. Mary Small, who was widowed by 1860, received a dependent mother's pension by 1867. She had two other sons said to have fought with the Confederacy and some descendants say a son, Thomas, was in Co H of the 7th Tennessee with Andrew Jackson. Thomas does not have muster roll records, however. MR #1641
