Married Clarice Demarisa (Dedmarisa) Hedrick in Blount Co., Tennessee on 18 April 1861 just as the Civil War began. They named their first son after General Beauregard who fired upon Fort Sumter.
At the time of his discharge in 1861, he is described as age 29, 6' 1" tall, dark complexion, grey eyes, dark hair, farmer.
Based upon letters found inKnoxville, I believe he enlisted again. Whatever ill health he had at age 29, he lived another 42 years.
