	Residence: Davidson County, NC Occupation: Farmer (actually, he was a miner) Enlistment date' 14 May 1862 Distinguished Service: Distinguished Service Side Served: Confederacy State Served: North Carolina Unit Numbers: 161 161 Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 14 May 1862 at the age of 19, 54th Infantry Reg, NC on 26 May 1862. POW on 7 Nov 1863, at Rappahannock Station, VA. Confined on 11 Nov 1863 at Point Lookout, MD. Paroled on 9 Mar 1864 at Point Lookout, MD. Exchanged on 15 Mar 1864 at City Point, VA. Surrendered Co. A, 54th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 9 April 1865 in Appomattox Courthouse VA. My Grandfather was not in the actual battle lines of the war; he was required to fulfill his obligation to the Confederacy by working in the Silver Hill Mine in Davidson County, NC (called detached service). The mine extracted lead to support the Confederate Army and provide lead and silver for ammunition. The Civil War created an urgent need for lead to supply Southern troops. The Confederate government operated the Silver Hill Mine (formerly was the Washington Mining Co.) to provide an alternate source of lead in case the mines at Austinville, Virginia should fall into Northern hands. Lead concentrates with high silver values were shipped from Silver Hill to the newly constructed Confederate smelter in Petersburg, Virginia.
