Company H

Private

Jasper enrolled in the Union Army at Strawberry Plains, Tennessee on September 9, 1863. He was mustered into service February 12, 1864 as a private, Company H, 12th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry. He was honorably discharged as a private on July 11, 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina. In late 1860s he moved his family to Obion County, Tennessee. He died in Hornbeak, Obion County, Tennesee on June 6, 1914 and is buried at Antioch Church in Hornbeak. Since he never learned to read or write, this last name has giving us fits in trying to locate him prior to 1863. When he enrolled apparently the enlisting officer spelled it the way it sounded, ''Worix''. In his military and medical records it is spelled Warex, Warax, Warrix, Wirax, Wrax, and Warix as a few examples.
