Re: Elias Newman of Miss.

So Alan do you have any suggestions on where I should look for state millitia company records ? Or any other millitary records ? I cannot find any service records for him in the national archives online soldiers and sailors system and he disappears during the war between the states, Me and my mother would both like to put this mystery to rest someday. Here is a story about what his daughter said.

The War Between the States story about Elias is told by Richard. The story references Frankie Newman , one of Elias' children;

Frankie's father was a shoemaker who lived in Natchez. His business was across the street from the slave market. The market was a square city block in size in the center of town, and was surrounded by storefronts, saloons, cafe's, warehousing and shipping business, and other businesses. A very busy place. The story Frankie told was that she was a little girl and
the Confederate soldiers just showed up one day and took her father and a bunch of other men away as conscripts. They never heard from him again.
