F. M. Heath - Private
Pvt. F.M. Heath was the son of Lamarcus Heath and Salina Perry James Heath born in MS in 1833, third child of 14. He became ill with fevers and died 10 Dec 1861 at an unknown place. The location of his grave is also unknown. His youngest sister was my great-grandmother on my mother's side of my family. F.M.'s Soldier Record is on www.itd.nps.gov/cwss (National Parks Service). He died about 14 months before the enlistment of his younger brother C.C. (Christopher Columbus Heath). C.C. was signed up at Corinth, MS, by a Lieut. Fox, so it seems as though F.M. might have enlisted there too.
