James enlisted Sep 1861 (at 16 yrs old) into the Confederacy and served as a drummer in the Civil War with Col. Charles Wickliffe's 7th Kentucky Regiment Mounted Infantry under Capt. W. J. Stubblefield. He was discharged Dec 1863 (at 18 yrs old).
[3][7][8][9]
Among the first 12 children were two boys with the same name. The oldest child was John Edward Utterback, who died young in 1887 of Typhoid Fever. Frances was pregnant with another child when John Edward died; when the new child was a boy, they named him after his eldest brother, recently deceased. So there is John Edward Utterback "the first" (known in the family as "the first Ed"), and the second John Edward, born in 1888.

Note: Although the "Utterback Book" by William Irvin Utterback [1] is used as a source, it is mainly used for lineage - many of the dates cited in the book are incorrect (and it only lists one wife). Correct dates and names are taken from a family Bible. [11]
