Company A, 9th Regiment, Indiana Infantry, Civil War. He initially enlisted Aug.16,1861, in Johnson Co., IN., as Moses E.Rawlings, in Co. I, 18th IN Infantry.. He was mustered out Aug.18,1864, then reenlisted Oct.
7,1864, as Moses E. Rollings, in Co., A 9th IN INF.. His widow filed for pensions in 1868 and 1873, at the later date as Caroline Colvin. He was the father of three daughters and a son.

The U.S. Register for the Death of Volunteers, 1861-1865, records his death date as Mar.28,1865. But National Cemetery Internment Control Form, 1928-1962, says Feb.1, 1865. It's definitely the same soldier. Since the Mar.28,1865 date was recorded in 1865,I'd say it's the correct one. He died Asylum G H, Knoxville TN, from chronic rheumatism.
I wonder if the Feb.1, 1865 date was when he was admitted to the hospital.

His full name was Moses Evermont Rollins, (or Rawlings), the son of Stephen Rawlings, (d.1866), [Find a Grave # 41970829 ], buried Mount Pleasant Cem., Franklin, Johnson
Co., IN., and Mary (Rawlings) Rawlings. [His parents were 2nd cousins.] His wife, (md. Aug.1,1853 in Johnson Co., IN), was Caroline Harter, (1837-1874). She's supposed to
be buried in Oak Hill Cem., Lebanon, Boone Co., IN., but she remarried once or twice,so I'm not sure if she's been added to Find a Grave yet. His birth year is usually listed as 1832, although some say 1831.
