I believe this Confederate was my maternal gr,gr,grandfather. The CMSR contains only the ' index card ' with his name, Company, & Regiment. I believe John was probably conscripted ( drafted ) into the Confederate Army about the same time as his brother-in-law, Elijah Hashbarger, listed on this page. He was 'captured July 3, 1863 at Cowan, Tenn.' The CMSR also states ' due to be released at Louisville, Ky. ' John may have been captured by elements of the Union 1st Tenn Cav that was made up of Unionists from upper East Tenn and that he may have been acquainted with. Family tradition and oral history says he '' never returned to the Confederate Army and had several run-ins with the Confederate home guard, one of which resulted in a half-hearted attempt to hang him.

Enrolled in what would become Company B 19th Tenn Confederate Inf. age 16 at Knoxville,Tn. in May,1861 before Tenn had even left the Union. He was discharged ( for being under age ) after the passing of the first Confederate conscricption act ( draft law ) He returned to East Tennessee and joined the Union Army's 8th Tn Cav. Co.I probably in the fall of 1863.He was married to Sarah Hashbarger. Sarah's mother Hannah Cox Hashbarger was a sister to my maternal gr,gr,grandfather John Harvey Cox. Her brother,John D.Hashbarger Confederate Private Co.K 19th Tenn Inf died in the Civil War. Her father,Elijah Co B 19th Tn Inf was wounded at Stones River,Tenn

With all the debates about ' Black Confederates ' I found this interesting mainly because this man was from my home county and lived near several of my ancestors / relatives. In the 1860 census of Sullivan County, Tennessee. Wiley is listed as 15 year-old free ' mulatto. ' A ' farmhand ' on a rather large farm. He is shown enlisting as a private in company G 19th Tennessee infantry at Knoxville ( another record says Zollicoffer, TN which would have been considerably closer and in Sullivan Co ) He enlists April 8, 1863 which leads me to believe he was conscripted. He is ' present ' and on the rolls through Nov.12, 1863 when he is sent to the hospital. One would assume he fought with the regiment at Chickamauga where the 19th did some hard fighting. He is last paid while hospitalized Jan.25, 1864. He then disappears from the rolls. He is then found present on the rolls for the 4th Tennessee Infantry ( Union ) Co. C from March-August 1864. Wiley then deserted Uncle Sam August 20, 1864 at Kingston, Tenn. He soon returned by a certain date and was restored to service by Jan. 1865.
