Notes

Note N1969"He was a farmer and he worked in his father's tanyard. In 1859 he moved to Tucker County, and settled near St. George, where he carried on the business of tanner. His military service started 27 Sept. 1862 when he enlisted as a private in Company E, 15th WVa Infantry. He was appointed corporal, later sergeant, and then orderly sergeant, serving until the Civil War ended. He participated in a number of battles, but was himself uninjured. He eventually returned to his business as before the war, and five years later he moved back to Taylor County, West Virginia. In 1888 he returned to Independence, where he operated a grist mill until June 1907, then retired and settled down in Kingwood".
