My great-grandfather, Walter S. Turner, served in the 39th Mississippi Infantry Regiment as a young enlisted man during the Civil War. He was 20 years old at the time of the Battle of Port Hudson, LA which he described in detail in his diary covering the period of May 21-July 25, 1863 (a copy of which I hold). After the surrender of the Confederates on July 8 , he was parolled on July 14, 1863. He died at Winona, MS on February 21, 1920 at age 76.

Archibald Wade Ware - Private |
|
Archibald Wade Ware was born in 1830 in Stewart County, Georgia. He and most of his siblings moved into the area of the Smith-Simpson County line, in the southwest corner of Smith County. He heeded the call and joined the 39th in late April of 1862. He was of course at Port Hudson and surrendered there in July 1863. He rejoined the 39th at Enterprise for the exchange and was at all the fights subsequent to the winter of 63-64. He was captured/surrendered at Fort Blakeley and spent an all-expense paid month-long vacation on the sands of Ship Island. Ironically, the thirty-four hundred prisoners were kept under guard by members of the 1st and 3rd Louisiana Native Guard, USCT, the same regiments who had attempted to attack the extreme left wing of the defenses of Port Hudson on May 27th, 1863. This position was manned by the 39th Mississippi under Shelby. It was an impossible assault, and the Native Guard was repulsed three times with great slaughter with virtually no casualties for the 39th.Interestingly, Arch had two sons by his second wife whom he named Shelby and Lowrey(commander of a couple of his brothers in the the Bloody Sixth). Arch Ware was my great-great grandfather.
