He was in the 12th Cavalry Regiment, formerly the Jackson County Cavalry, was organized during the summer of 1863. The unit was assigned to General Shelby's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and confronted the Federals in Missouri and Arkansas. Later it was part of Price's operations in Missouri. The regiment sustained 2 casualties at Marks' Mills and 35 during Price's Expedition. It was included in the surrender on June 2, 1865.

Om May 22 1863 he was captured in Ozark County Missouri and sent to the Gratiot Street Military Prison in St. Louis and then to City Point Virginia for exchange.
Then again he appears on a Prisoners of War Roll at Springfield Missouri on May 1864. With no record of what happened after the capture.
