Virginia Infantry Regiment and subsequently served with the 7th West Virginia Cavalry Regiment after the 8th changed its name. He drew a Civil War pension from 12 Jul 1887 until his death on 8 Apr 1915 in Bowers, Latimer County, Oklahoma. As surviving spouse, Julie Ann Rice Kennedy, applied for his pension on 21 May 1915, and drew his pension until her death on 15 Apr 1926 in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma.
In the Census of 1880 he is listed as a farmer and a physician. The term "physician" was used instead of "doctor" because a doctor could be a dentist or veterinarian while a physician can only be a medical doctor.
