BOZEMAN, Alabama / Walton Co. FL I have a problem. My GGGrandfather James Bozeman was enlisted as priv, in Co I, infantry, 40th AL. Yes, he was born in Covington Co. AL but the 1860 Census showed that his parents and siblings along with his (James") wife and two children had not long recided in Walton County FL. I have information that James died Dec. 24, 1864 in Rock Island Illinous POW camp. Apparently, although he had moved to FL, it seems that he enlisted with AL confederacy. I am having some difficulty locating much information about him because of this. Can you help me?

ADAMS, FL 11th Inf Co. E / LEWIS, FL 10th Inf Co. H I have been trying to find information on 2 of my ancestors that were (according to my great grandmother's UDC application) members of the 10th & 11th regiments of the FL Infantry.
They did not apply for pensions according to the Archives in Tallahassee, so I'm trying to find access to military records in FL without having to actually go down there (I live in VA). The following information is what my ggrandmother wrote:
Cason McCoy Adams (1826-1911) was a private in Co. E, 11th Regiment of the FL Infantry. He enlisted 2 March 1863 at Madison, FL. The company muster roll Nov-Dec 1864 shows him as absent "sent to hospital in Richmond" on 17 Aug 1864. He was paroled 18 May 1865. Personal description was "5'9", light hair.
James Shepard Lewis (1828-1897) served with Co. H, 10th Regiment of the FL Infantry. He was discharged 17 May 1865. She did not list any enlistment date or location. James' brother Daniel was killed at Gettysburg and James was appointed Guardian of Daniel's 4 minor orphans. I am trying to find some definite results as to the participation and rosters of these regiments. Can you shed any light?

Samuel C. Strickland - Kilcrease Light Artillery
I'm researching my 3rd great-grandfather Samuel C. Strickland (born abt 1830 in SC, died about 1910 in GA, buried in Manor, GA). He was in Jefferson Co., FL in the 1860 and 1870 census'. He served as a C.S.A. soldier in the Kilcrease Light Artillery. He enlisted 4/28/64 at P&G R.R. Can someone tell me what P&G R.R. stands for. Perhaps something like Perry and Gulf Railroad? I would like to learn more about what activities this unit participated in and anything else that may be of interest concerning it. Thanks,

OLIVER
My great-grandfather was James Llewellyn Oliver, born in Alabama in 1842, son of Berrien Oliver, served in the 2d Fla. Cavalry at Olustee and Natural Bridge. His children were James Carter Oliver (my grandfather), Earnest Oliver and Jennie Oliver Warren. James Carter Oliver's son was my father, Wayne Carter Oliver. All the above are buried in the Oliver family cemetary at Wakulla, which I still legally own. I have accumulated a substantial amount of information on the Oliver Family (going back to England in the 1500's) which I will share with anyone seriously interested.

HERRING & 11th FL Inf. History
I'm looking for John E. Herring who supposedly was captured and coerced into deserting so he wouldn't go to prison. He was in the hospital with Typhoid fever one day and a couple of days later he was taking the oath as a deserter. I'm just trying to see if there is ANY record ANYWHERE of his being captured. I found something very interesting on these rosters for the 11th Infantry. 15% of the men in companies D & E deserted. I also found a number of Honorably Discharged----a term I'd not seen on any of the others. Could I possibly find an in-depth history of the 11th Infantry somewhere. This is so unusual that I'd like to look into it.Cosette Sun 25 Aug 1998

JAMES B. WALKER
According to the tombstone of James B. Walker, he was born in 1843 and died in 1863 in CSA. After searching through all the counties bordering his resident county of Nassau (both Georgia & Florida), and finding him on no muster roll, I'm beginning to wonder if that CSA stood for Confederate States of America rather than Confederate States Army. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Sincerely,

SILLS
Looking for information on the following: Name: William Sills Born: 1816 GA Died: ? Buried: ? Wife: Mary Watson Served with Co C of 1st Regiment Florida Reserves in the Civil War. Enlisted May 2 1864, at Marianna. A muster roll dated "to May 14, 1865," stated that he had been in the hospital at Marianna since January 23, 1865. Returned to Georgia after the war, settling in DeKalb Co. Name: James A. Sills Born: 22 Dec 1842 GA Died: 5 Aug 1920 FL Jackson Co Buried: FL Jackson Co Pleasant Ridge Cemetery Wife: Amelia S. Hart During Civil War, enlisted July 3, 1861 at Greenwood, Jackson Co, FL, for 12 months. He was mustered into the Confederate Army as a private in Co D, Capt. Barnes' Co, Sept 25, at Fort Mallory. That company became Co I of the 4th FL Infantry, with which he was shown in service through Dec, 1862. At the Battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River)TN, he was shot in the foot and captured on Jan. 5, 1863. He was imprisoned at Louisville, KY, until exchanged, arriving at City Point, VA, Apr 2, 1863. He apparently never returned to service. These were father and son, William being the father. I'm sure of the son's service. I'm reasonably sure the William listed in records of the 1st Reserves was James' father but would like conclusive proof if it's available. Thanks,Ron Hall Thu, 20 Aug 1998
