James enlisted in Company C, 7th Tennessee Cavalry on August 18, 1863 at Clarksburg, Tennessee and received a honorable discharge on August 9, 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee. Enlisted for 3 years at Clarksburg, TN on 8/10/63 and mustered at Union City, TN on 12/21/63 at age 19. He received a $100 bounty for enlistment. Dyers Compendium says he spent time in Andersonville Prison but his muster roll does not mention it. Box mustered out with the regiment at Nashville on 8/9/65, retaining his pistol and having to pay for a lost poncho. In the 1890 veterans' census he was living near the Greenfield Post Office in Weakley Co, TN. He applied for an invalid pension and died on 10/31/1924 at Greenfield, TN. His widow, Louvenia A Box, applied for a pension in 1924. Box appears to be the son of Stephen B and Silvestra Box.
