James Madison Ulmer - Sergeant
|
Ulmer is my great great,great-grandfather . The 'Official Records' I have seen unfortunately list him as 'John M. Ulmer' but there is no doubt that they are one in the same as his grave marker list this:
SGT. Co. A. 40th MS. INF. CSA.
As to the Sergeant designation above, I am going by what is on his grave stone and a record a confederatevets.com and the parole list from Vicksburg so I am just assuming that is correct.
He was captured at Vicksburg on 7-4-1863 then paroled. I don't see any other action after that so he may have been the only Confederate soldier to honor his parole pledge and stop fighting, but I doubt it. He is listed on the Vicksburg National Park parole records:http://www.nps.gov/vick/learn/historyculture/confederate-parole-records-u.htm
He is buried is a small family cemetery which I maintain in Clarke, County MS about 5 miles west of Shubuta, MS.
Hope this helps,
Joseph S. Johnston

Jonathan joined the 5th Ms. Infantry first in October 1861, he received a discharge from the Regt. Surgeon because of debility in January 1863. He joined the Steam Mill Rangers in May 1863 and received a $50 bonus. He was present for Iuka and Corinth and was captured and paroled at Vicksburg. He was listed as AWOL like many others from the 40th and when he did return he was promoted to Sgt. The last roll for him in March/April shows that he was 'sick in the hospital' his pay was brought up to date for $154.96. He did not come back from the war. Some family history says that he is buried in a mass grave near Atlanta when the 40th was shot up pretty bad.
