Note, he could very well have been detached from his command around July 1 and unable to join up with them, he returned to his home. Subsequent company musters held do not record his name, indicating that he had been dropped from the rolls on the July/August, 1863 muster, never rejoining the regiment.

This Battalion was Organized May 2, 1863

The company retired with the army of Tennessee from Shelbyville, Tenn. on the 27th June 1863 and reached camp near Chattanooga Tn, in July 63
