The tiny X over the middle initial above indicates a discrepancy in the records. |
Here is his place of birth (Copiah Co.) and occupation (farmer). Again, it states, "Died at Camp Parker near Vicksburg Aug 10 62." |
Once again we see he is a farmer and was born in Mississippi. He died 10 Aug 1862 near Vicksburg, cause given, "Killed in action."
