DOB:  About 1840 DOD:  October 24,1862 or November 13, 1862 Age at Enlistment: 21 Date of Enlistment:  May 9, 1861 Place of Enlistment:  Franklin, TN Rank at Enlistment:  Private Rank at Discharge:  1st Corporal Casualty: He was wounded in the bowels at Perryville October 8, 1862 and died from his wounds.  Comments:  John appears on the 1850 Census living in District 6 of Williamson County (Temple Hills area).  He enlisted at the company’s formation and was present on every roster.  He was promoted to 1st Corporal at the Company’s reorganization on April 30, 1862 at Corinth, MS.  He was mortally wounded in the bowels at Perryville on October 8 and lingered for a few weeks before passing away.  The Confederates record his death as October 24, 1862 but the Federals record November 13, 1862  It is hard to say who is right.  If he died on October 24 he would have had others from his regiment with him but Federal surgeons would have been taking care of him, so their date of November 13 maybe correct.  John was mistakenly entered on a list of prisoners to be exchanged in January 1863 even though he would have been dead for over a month at that point.  The Federals record he died at a field hospital in Perryville and it is assumed he is buried in the Confederate mass grave there.
