James started out with the 4th GA Cavalry. from what i have discovered that unit had 3 canons attached to it. Later those canons where reassigned to form clinch's artillary under the younger brother of the commander of the 4th GA Cav. My GGG Grandfather transfered at that time. I assume that while he was with the 4th GA he was assigned to those canons at some point. as i find more information i will make it available.
