Today marks the final installment of the "Randolph Hornets," 22nd North Carolina Infantry, Company M, Project! Today's post will cover Privates whose last names begin with the letters S through Z.
Before I get to the Privates, however, I wanted to highlight another officer I found in my list of men in the Company.
Madison M. L. Smith enlisted with the Hornets as a Corporal on 10 June 1861 when he was 21-years old. Even though he enlisted as an officer, he did not seem to keep his position long.
His record is filled only with notices of desertion (it states he deserted three times in the course of the War - no doubt the reason he lost his rank!), but my favorite record in his file is something I have never seen before.

| Taken from Service Records |
It shows the bounty paid for his arrest and capture paid out to a Lieutenant A. Smith. I could not find any records for a Lieutenant A. Smith in any North Carolina Infantry, but I hope to keep looking for him to see how he ended up fairing in the War.
Madison's capture by Lt. Smith took place 8 October 1863, but there are also references to him deserting on 16 November 1863 (surrendering himself to the Cav. Corps) and taking the Oath of Amnesty on 19 March 1864.
Now, on to the remaining Privates in the Company!
127.) Enoch P. Scott was a 29-year-old farmer when he enlisted in the Company on 6 March 1862. Unfortunately for Enoch, he didn't do very well in the War. About one month after enlisting, he is admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 5 in Richmond, Virginia with a continuous fever. He is marked as dying at Chimborazo either 25 July, 1 August, or 12 August 1862. (All three dates appear in his file.)
Unlike other men in the Company who were from Randolph County, North Carolina, Enoch lists that he was from Chatham County, North Carolina.
128.) James M. Scotton enlisted as an 18-year-old on 10 June 1861. He seems to have been a career teamster. There are records in his file showing he served as a teamster for at least the months of November 1861, March 1862, July 1862, September and October 1862, and January 1863 to November 1864. He must have been a very strong and hard-working person to have done such a hard and physically demanding job for such a long period of time. He was paroled at Greensboro on 10 May 1865.
129.) Edmond T. Shouse enlisted on 1 July 1864. He seems to have stayed out of trouble for the first several months after he enlisted, but on 1 April 1865, he was captured at Five Forks. After his capture, he was held at City Point, Virginia before finally being transferred to the POW Camp at Point Lookout, Maryland on 5 April 1865. Edmond stayed at Point Lookout until 20 June 1865 when he was finally released after having taken the Oath of Allegiance.
130.) Howard E. Smith enlisted as a 19-year-old on 10 June 1861. There are no records of his time in the War for his first year, but there is a record that lists Howard died on 20 June 1862 in Richmond, Virginia of his wounds. There is no mention of the nature of his wounds or when or where he received his wounds, but hopefully more investigation into this matter would shed more light on the nature of his death.
131.) J. D. Spinks was only 18-years old when he enlisted on 10 June 1861. There is very little in his file. It merely states that he died of wounds received at the Battle at Manassas on 29 August 1862.
132.) J. G. Spronce's enlistment record is very confusing. One record states he enlisted on 27 August 1862 with Captain McRea. Another record states he enlisted at Camp Holmes with Colonel Malett on 1 September 1863. And yet another record states he enlisted with Captain McLear at Camp Vance on 7 September 1863. Since there was no Captain McRea or McLear, I assume those may have been a reference to another Company or Infantry Division altogether. There is no record in his record with the 22nd North Carolina Infantry, Company M, that suggests he transferred from another unit. Further research into the other Infantries would be required to sort it all out.
Despite the confusion on his enlistment, by 1864, he has been admitted to the hospital. He appears to have been admitted to the 2nd Division General Hospital at Camp Winder in Richmond
or the General Hospital at Farmville on 25 August 1864 with wounds. The wounds seem to have been received at Weldon R. R. He is listed as having been shot in the left foot. His left great toe (or possibly the entire foot - the record is not very clear) was amputated on 31 August 1864. By 13 October 1864, he has been granted a furlough due to his injury.
133.) Abner B. Steel enlisted on 10 June 1861. There is not a lot in his file, but I am very intrigued by this man. By October 1862, he is listed as being Absent WithOut Leave. There is no record of him after this until he is shown as being captured near Hanover Junction on 21/24 May 1864. He was held at the White House for about two weeks before being sent to Point Lookout, Maryland. Abner stayed at Point Lookout for one month before being transferred to Elmira, New York on 8 July 1864.
Almost one month after arriving at Elmira, on 8 August 1864, Abner requested to take the Oath of Allegiance. He states he was conscripted into service and that he had always been opposed to the War. I don't know if they didn't believe him, or if they simply didn't care, but they didn't let him take the Oath until 29 May 1865, almost 10 months after his initial request to take the Oath. He was released on 29 May 1865 after taking the Oath.
134.) Thomas Stewart's record only states that he enlisted on 1 September 1863 and that he was "dropped from rolls" on 9 July 1864. This could mean he died, deserted, was on an indefinite furlough, or was AWOL for an extended period. Further research would be required to figure out which was the case.
135.) Wesley A. Stewart enlisted either on 1 September 1863 at Camp Holmes, North Carolina with Colonel Malett
or on 7 September 1863 at Camp Vance, North Carolina with Captain McLear. (He must have been with J. G. Spronce.) His record merely shows that he was granted a sick furlough, for an unmentioned illness, on 15 August 1864. By 30 September 1864, he was "dropped from rolls."
136.) When he was 29-years old,
Lorenzo D. Stout enlisted with the Hornets on 10 June 1861. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He served in January 1862 as the regiment carpenter. By July 1862, he was on detached service with the Brigade Quarter Master. He stayed on "detached service" at least through October 1862.
After this, he seems to have been a career wheelwright. There are records in his file showing he served as a wheelwright for at least the months of June to July 1863, September and October 1863, 17 December to 31 December 1863, 18 January through December 1864, and February 1865. He must have been a very skilled person to have done the position for such a long period of time. He took a break from being a wheelwright from 1 January 1864 and 18 January 1864. During this time, he served as a blacksmith. He was paroled at Appomattox on 9 April 1865.
137.) W. G. Stout enlisted on 10 June 1861. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He was sent home on furlough by July 1862. By September 1862, he seems to have returned from his furlough, but he is listed as being "sick." On 17 October 1862, he is present at General Hospital No. 6 in Richmond. He stays there for an unmentioned time. On 4 November 1862, he was admitted to Howard's Grove General Hospital at Richmond, Virginia with elephantiasis of his right leg. WebMd states this is a condition caused by an obstruction of the lymphatic system and results in the accumulation and gross enlargement of a body area. W. G. was discharged because of his condition on 27 November 1862.
138.) On 29 March 1864,
William O. Strickland enlisted with the Hornets. He is marked "present" from July to October 1864, but by 5 March 1865, he has deserted the Company. He shows up as having been received by the Provost Marshal General of the Sixth Army Corps. He was sent on 6 March 1865 to Captain Potter. Captain Potter sent him on 9 March 1865 to Colonel T. Ingraham. And on 10 March 1865, William took the Oath of Allegiance and was transferred ("furnished") to Knoxville, Tennessee. I have not found a record of him serving in any unit of the Union, but the language of his transfer makes me think he was to take up arms with the Union army. Further investigation would be required to find out if this was in fact the case.
139.) William S. Sudderth originally enlisted as a Sergeant with the 12th North Carolina Infantry, Company A, on 30 April 1861. In the month of July 1862, he is listed has having been transferred around to different companies within the 22nd North Carolina Infantry a lot. It is unclear to me whether or not William actually "served" a single day with the Randolph Hornets, but this is what his record shows: All of these transfers record his rank as "Private." He was (first) transferred to Company A from Company K. He was transferred from Company A (or H is also listed) to Company M.
It would seem from the list that he remained with Company M after that, but by 25 September 1862, he appears sick in General Hospital No. 12 at Richmond, and he is listed as being a member of Company A. Then, in October 1862, he is listed as being AWOL in Company L. (Did he ever serve with Company L?!) By the time he is discharged on 10 February 1863, he is a 2nd Sergeant with Company A. His discharge was granted due to being wounded at Seven Pines. I'd love to find some reflections from this man on his time in the War. I think that's the only way I will ever be able to sort his service out.
140.) John R. Sumner enlisted as a 29-year-old on 10 June 1861. He was sent with the rest of the sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. It is unclear how long he stayed there, but the next thing in his file reports his death due to wounds received at the Battle at Ellyson's Mills. His death date is recorded as being 7 June 1862, 26 June 1862, 1 July 1862, and 4 July 1862. The Battle of Ellyson's Mills was 26 June 1862, so it is more likely he died of his wounds on 1 or 4 July 1862. His record shows he was treated at General Hospital No. 8 (St. Charles Hospital) in Richmond at the time of his death.
Also in John's file is a settlement his widow, Rachel Sumner, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of John.
141.) Spencer Thompson's time with the Company was extremely brief. He enlisted on 10 June 1861. Less than two months after joining, on 25 July 1861, Spencer deserted camp.
142.) H. C. Trogdon enlisted as a 28-year-old on 10 June 1861. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He made it back to his men eventually, but on 31 May 1862, he was captured at Fair Oaks by General Sumner. After his capture, he was held at Fort Monroe for a few days before being sent to Fort Delaware on 5 June 1862. He was received at Fort Delaware on 9 June 1862 by Captain Lyon with the 6th New York Cavalry.
H. C. stayed at Fort Delaware for almost two months before being sent to Aiken's Landing, Virginia for a prisoner exchange on 5 August 1862. It is unclear what happened to H. C. after this exchange, but on 24 August 1864, he is listed with his Company as being AWOL, which leads me to believe he returned to them at some point. On 24 September 1864, he is listed as being "dropped" from the rolls. The final record in his file states he was paroled at Greensboro after taking the Oath of Allegiance on 8 May 1865.
143.) Jeremiah F. Trogdon enlisted on 6 March 1862 as a 25-year-old. He was captured at Gettysburg some time between 1 and 4 July 1863. He was apparently sick or wounded upon his capture because he appeared as a POW at the DeCamp General Hospital at David's Island in New York Harbor in mid-July 1863.
At some point, he made it back to his Company though, but he leave them again 1 January 1864 when he is sent to Richmond on "detached service." There is a record that shows he was a railroad guard, but it seems as soon as he got to Richmond he was sent to "surg lane" at Winder Hospital. "Surg" in a hospital makes me think "surgery." I'll need to investigate this further to see if that is truly what they are referencing here.
He stayed at Camp Winder Hospital in this position and also as a nurse through about 18 June 1864. He was then sent to be a "detailed member of the late Salisbury Guard." It is unclear how long this term was, but he returned to surg lane afterwards. He was at least back at Camp Winder by 4 August 1864 because he received clothing at Camp Winder on that day. Jeremiah stayed with the hospital until he finally returned to his unit on 26 October 1864. He did not last with his Company long, however, and he was granted a medical discharge on 8 February 1865 due to asthma.
144.) Lyndon A. Trogdon enlisted on 10 June 1861 as a 22-year-old. He was sent to Fredricksburg with the sick on 28 August 1861. I don't know how long he stayed at Fredricksburg, but in the next record in his file shows he is (still or again) sick in July 1862. Then, sometime between July and September 1862, Lyndon is listed as AWOL.
At some point after September, he returns to his Company, but on 14 July 1863, he is taken prisoner at Falling Waters. He stayed at Baltimore for a while after his capture before being exchanged and sent to Point Lookout on 16 August 1863. He stayed at Point Lookout for several months before being exchanged again on 3 March 1864. There was no mention of where he went or if he was simply released upon the March exchange, but on 30 August 1864, he is listed as being "dropped" from the rolls in his Company.
After being "dropped," he somehow shows up "present" again with the Hornets after being AWOL for three months. The record makes it a point to mention that the three months he was AWOL before coming back that he forfeited his pay for that time.
The final record in his file shows he was paroled at Greensboro on 8 May 1865.
145.) Samuel Trogdon enlisted on 10 June 1861 as a 21-year-old. His record only states that he died either 30 June 1862 or 17 August 1862 of wounds received in battle. He is listed as being at Hospital "No. 5" at the time of his death. Word must have not reached his Company for a while though because he is still listed as being "absent" due to being wounded in September and October 1862.
146.) Solomon Trogdon was 32-years old when he enlisted on 10 June 1861. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. There is no mention of Solomon again until 26 June 1862 when he appears to have been wounded. I don't know how or where he was wounded, but he is AWOL from his Company in September 1862. By October 1862, he is listed as having deserted.
It is unclear in the records how long he was away after he deserted, but from 16 February to at least 7 March 1864, Solomon served as a teamster with the Company. Knowing this was a rough job, part of my mind leads to believe this was his penance for deserting. There is no mention of Solomon again after March until he appears AWOL on 24 August 1864. One month after being absent, he is shown "dropped from rolls." The final record in his file shows his parole at Greensboro on 8 May 1865.
147.) Andrew J. Turner enlisted as a 21-year-old on 10 June 1861. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. Like James M. Scotton, he seems to have been a career teamster. There are records in his file showing he served as a teamster for at least the months of December 1861 and January 1862, March 1862, July 1862, September and October 1862, January to July 1863, October to December 1863, and July to October 1864. He must have been a very strong and hard-working person to have done such a hard and physically demanding job for such a long period of time. He was paroled at Appomattox on 9 April 1865.
148.) M.S. Turner enlisted as a 49-year-old on 1 December 1861. He enlisted only for a single year, and at the end of his year he was granted a discharge due to his age and disability. The nature of his disability is not mentioned, but I assume it was just due to his old age.
149.) Thomas G. Turner was a 21-year-old farmer when he enlisted with the Company on 25 February 1862. On 26 June 1862, he is listed as being wounded in battle. Thomas is admitted to the Howard's Grove General Hospital at Richmond with a gunshot wound and fractured fibula the next day. About a week and a half later, he is granted a medical furlough for 30 days. I don't know if he returned to his Company as scheduled, but he is listed as AWOL in September 1862.
There are no records of him again until 6 April 1864 when he is admitted to the Receiving and Wayside Hospital at Richmond with dyspepsia (basically, "indigestion"). This is the final record in his file, so I'm not sure what happened to him after this hospital stay, but there is a mention that he was wounded twice in battle. The gunshot wound would have been the first wound, but there is no mention of the nature of his second wound. Further investigation would be required to determine when and where the second injury took place.
Unlike other men in the Company who were from Randolph County, North Carolina, Enoch lists that he was from Chatham County, North Carolina.
150.) William B. Wall enlisted with the 12th North Carolina Infantry, Company E, on 23 May 1861. He was sent to Fredricksburg sick on 28 August 1861. By November 1861, I assume he is feeling better, but he seems to have stayed behind at Fredricksburg and is serving on the staff as a nurse.
On 1 July 1862, William transferred to the Randolph Hornets. It is unclear how long he stayed with Company M, but also in July 1862 he is listed as transferring to Company E. The final record in his file shows William was captured at Gettysburg. Further investigation would be required in order to figure out what happened to William after his capture.
151.) James A. Webster enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was 19-years old. He was captured at Fredricksburg on 13 December 1862. He was held at a camp near Falmouth, Virginia until he was "sent into the enemy's lines at Fredericksburg" on 18 December 1862 and was paroled for exchange.
There is no mention of James again until 12 March 1864 when he shows up as a deserter and takes the Oath of Allegiance. On 17 March 1864, he is sent to Washington, D. C., and that's the last thing in his record. At some point during the War, he was wounded twice.
152.) Daniel C. Wilkerson enlisted as a 28-year-old farmer on 6 March 1862. His file states he died 25 June 1862, but it seems word didn't make it back to his Company for a while. He is listed as being "sick" even up until October 1862.
153.) On 6 March 1862, when he was 20-years old,
James M. Wilkerson enlisted with the Randolph Hornets. By July 1862, he was sick in the Brigade Hospital. He died 4/5 December 1862 at General Hospital No. 20 in Richmond, Virginia. His cause of death was typhoid pneumonia.
Also in James' file is a settlement his father, James Wilkinson, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of James.
*There is at least one other person's record in his file with him. See James M. Wilkinson below. Also there is a mention of a James Wilkerson who presented at Camp Winder Hospital with Typhoid Fever on 24 May 1862 and returned to duty on 3 June 1862. I am unsure which James this is since they often spelled the names similar. There is also a mention of a J. M. Wilkerson who died on 30 July 1862 at the age of 27. This could be an error, or it could be a third person in the same file.
154.) William J. Wilkins originally enlisted on 1 June 1861 with the 12th North Carolina Infantry, Company H. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He is listed as transferring to the Hornets on 1 July 1862. He is listed as "re-transferring" to Company H of the 22nd North Carolina Infantry sometime in July 1862, so I don't know how long he actually served in Company M. The remainder of his service shows him with Company H.
155.) James M. Wilkinson was admitted to the Chimborazo Hospital No. 1 in Richmond with debility on 9 August 1862. He was transferred to the Farmville Hopsital on 14 August 1862. James died 19 September 1862 at the C. S. A. General Hospital in Farmville, Virginia. His cause of death was erysipelas, "a skin disease caused by strep infection which devastates the blood."
Also in James' file is a settlement his attorney, A. M. Findley, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of James.
156.) Adam O. Williams originally enlisted as a 22-year-old on 18 June 1861 with the 12th North Carolina Infantry, Company L. He is listed as transferring on 1 July 1862 from Company M to Company L of the 22nd North Carolina Infantry. There is no mention when he became a member of the Hornets or for how long, but all of his service after this transfer are with Company L.
157.) Benjamin Williams enlisted as a 26-year-old farmer on 6 March 1862. He died at Bunker Hill on 20 October 1862. He fought in four battles before he died.
Also in Benjamin's file is a settlement his widow, Rebecca Williams, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of Benjamin.
158.) David E. Williams enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was 19-years old. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He was (still or again) sick in September 1862. On 16 October 1862, he was discharged due to being "unfit for duty for several months."
159.) James M. Williams enlisted as a 35-year-old on 10 June 1861. There is no record of him for the first three years in his file. On 23 May 1864, he is captured at North Anna. One week later, he arrives at Point Lookout from Port Royal, Virginia. He stayed at Point Lookout until he was exchanged at Aiken's Landing, Virginia on 17 March 1865. There is no mention of him after the exchange.
160.) Joel Williams enlisted with the Hornets as a 24-year-old blacksmith on 6 March 1862. He was listed as being "sick" in October 1862. There is no record of him in the hospital during this time, but on 10 November 1862, he is admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 2. His illness or injury are not mentioned. On 14 November 1862, he is transferred to the hospital at Danville.
After his transfer to Danville, he is not mentioned in the records again until 1863. He appears to have put his blacksmith skills to use. From 7 July 1863 to 24 September 1863, he worked shoeing horses and repairing wagons, etc. for the Company. He got paid $0.40 (per day or per hour is not specified) during this time.
The final record in his file states he was "under arrest" 7 October 1864 (the reason for his absence in the Company). His file also mentions he was slightly wounded in battle. It does not elaborate on his injury.
161.) John R. Williams enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was 19-years old. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. He was killed in battle at Shepardstown, Virginia on 20 September 1862. His file mentions he was in 11 battles.
Also in John's file is a settlement his father, Riley Williams, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of John.
162.) Lindsey Williams was conscripted with the Company on 13 March 1863 as a 37-year-old. He is admitted to the General Hospital at Staunton, Virginia on 29 July 1863 with debility. At some point after that, he returned to duty, but on 29 November 1863 he appears being admitted to Receiving and Wayside Hospital in Richmond.
There is no mention of Lindsey's actions again until his death on 21 May 1864. His file doesn't state the nature of his death or location.
163.) William M. Williams enlisted 20 September 1864. Since he enlisted so late in the War, his file is relatively brief. It simply contains a receipt for clothing from November and states he was paroled at Greensboro on 17 May 1865.
164.) William A. Woosley enlisted 1 July 1864. He was in the hospital sick by 20 July 1864. On 17 August 1864, he appears on a log having received clothes at Camp Winder Hospital, so I assume he is still sick by this point. By October 1864, he is marked as "present" with his Company again. There is no mention of him again until he shows up at Hart's Island, New York on 19 June 1865 taking the Oath of Allegiance. Based on the experiences of the other men who took the Oath at Hart's Island, I am lead to believe that William was probably a POW at some point between October 1864 and June 1865. Further investigations would be required to find out if this is true.
165.) David Wright enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was 23-years old. He was wounded in action around July 1862. There is no mention to the nature of his wound or where he was being seen, but by September 1862, he is listed as being AWOL. In October 1862, his status has changed from "AWOL" to "deserted." He must have made it back to his Company at some point because there is a receipt of him receiving clothing on 20 May 1863 at General Hospital No. 1 at Lynchburg where he was, presumably, a patient. There is no mention of David again until July 1864. He is marked as "present" for the months of July to October 1864. He was paroled at Appomattox on 9 April 1865. His file states he was wounded twice during the War.
166.) Doris Wright enlisted as a 23-year-old on 10 June 1861. His file is rather slim, but it isn't very flattering. It shows he was AWOL in July and September 1862. It shows he deserted twice, one of those times being October 1862. It also mentions he was wounded once, but it doesn't mention the nature of the wound.
167.) Isaac Wright enlisted as a 35-year-old on 10 June 1861. He died of disease on 28 July 1862 or 4 August 1862 at Richmond, Virginia. The nature of his disease is not mentioned.
Also in Isaac's file is a settlement his widow, Aimey Wright, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of Isaac.
168.) Daniel Yeargin enlisted as a 29-year-old on 10 June 1861. He was admitted to General Hospital No. 18, formerly Greaner's Hospital, in Richmond, Virginia on 28 April 1862 with diarrhea. There is no mention of how long he stayed at the hospital, but by September 1862, he is recorded as being AWOL. Again, there is no mention of him after September, but he obviously returns to his Company with enough time to be captured at Gettysburg on 5 July 1863. Daniel stayed at Fort McHenry, Maryland after his capture for a brief time before being transferred to Fort Delaware on 10 July 1863. He remained at Fort Delaware until he was released upon taking the Oath of Allegiance on 2 May 1865.
169.) Braxton York was only 18-years old when he enlisted with the Company on 6 March 1862. Braxton died of an unmentioned cause on 1 July 1862.
Also in Braxton's file is a settlement his father, Pleasant York, filed with the Office of Confederate States Auditor for the War Department on behalf of Braxton.
170.) Clarkson York enlisted on 6 March 1862 when he was 20-years old. On 27 June 1862, Clarkson was admitted to the General Hospital at Howard's Grove in Richmond with a gunshot wound on his scalp. He returned to duty 8 July 1862.
It must have not been a pretty bad wound! By late July 1862, he was sick in the Brigade Hospital, and by September 1862, he was wounded again in the hospital. On 25 September 1862, he was granted a furlough after his stay at the Camp Winder Hospital in Richmond. There was no mention of his ailment at Camp Winder, and there is no mention of him returning to duty after his furlough.
171.) Darius York enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was 31-years old. He was listed as being "wounded in action" in July 1862. I, however, see no mention of a hospital stay in his records online. He is listed as being AWOL by September 1862. He eventually returns to his Company though, because on 14 July 1863, he is captured at Falling Waters. Darius is held at Baltimore for about a month before being transferred to Point Lookout on 16 August 1863. He remained at Point Lookout until 24 January 1864 when he signed the Oath of Allegiance and agreed to join the U. S. Service. I see no mention of him serving in any Union Army, but further research would be required to see if he did in fact show up for duty after his release from Point Lookout.
172.) J. L York's file is incredibly small. It only contains a receipt for clothing dated 23 December 1864 and a notice that he was paroled at Appomattox on 9 April 1865.
173.) When
Joseph York was 20-years old, he enlisted with the Company. His enlistment date was either 25 February 1862 or 6 March 1862. Like James M. Scotton and Andrew J. Turner, he seems to have been a career teamster. There are records in his file showing he served as a teamster for the months of October 1862, July 1863, September and October 1863, and December 1863 through November 1864. He must have been a very strong and hard-working person to have done such a hard and physically demanding job for such a long period of time. It seems he was granted a much deserved "furlough of indulgence" in or around January 1865 (which probably lasted 30 days). He was paroled at Appomattox on 9 April 1865.
174.) Larkin C. York enlisted on 10 June 1861 when he was only 16-years-old. He signed on for a one-year term, and at the end of his term, on 13 June 1862, he was granted a discharge due to his age and the expiration of his service.
175.) Lindsy J. York enlisted late in the War, on 1 May 1864. The only record in his file states he was paroled at Greensboro on 11 May 1865.
176.) When he was only 18-years old, on 10 June 1861,
William J. York enlisted with the Hornets. He was sent sick to Fredricksburg on 28 August 1861. On 25 December 1861 or 10 January 1862, he was discharged due to disability.
