On 1 May 1865, he was transferred to Vicksburg for exchange that occurred at Camp Townsend on 6 May 1865.

Cowan's Battery was Co. G of 1st Miss Lt Arty, made up mostly of Warren Co., Miss., men. (It is interesting to note there may be a family relationship here as Hicks' mother's name was Cowan.) |
His transfer to Vicksburg was 1 May 1865. He was probably paroled soon after. |
