Harrold. Said to have emigrated to the U.S. around 1645. Was in US before Dec
26 1668. Said to have received lands
in 1670 for transporting
emigrants to the colonies. He patented land in 1687 on the Dragon Swamp,
between Covington's swamp and Chaney's
swamp, this was known as the
Quarter Plantation. And is located south of the present Tappahannock VA.
He owned 1000 acres called Dragon
Run and established Covingtons Mill in 1690 (the mill was rebuilt in 1808 and
still stands today in Essex
County)
1697 - The will of William
Covington dated 4 Nov 1696 was proved in court on 10 May 1697, Essex County,
Virginia, Deed Book 9, Page 105,
attested by Thomas Haywarton
& Thomas Watkins.. One of his daughters, name not known, married a William Brothers in 1683. He left
all his land
to his wife and 3 (?) sons
(richard, Thomas & William). He also left a cow to one EllinorCorpe, who
may have been his daughter, although this
relationship is not mentioned in
the will. A cow was also left to his grand-daughter Mary.
(some info from Thomas Falconer
book dated 1994 pages 54-68) (additional datafrom Martin Bryan Covington)
Additional info from submission
to Genealogy.com by Anne R Bruce: " descend from Thomas Howerton (often
spelled Hayworten, etc.) of Virginia.
In reading your list, here, it
refers over and over to Dorothy, the wife of the emigrant William Covington as
a daughter of Thomas Howerton.
The Howertons don't have any
proof that she was a Howerton but we acknowledge an extremely close friendship
between the two men. She may
have been a sister, but he was,
by the existing records and deeds, a single man as late as 1670.
If she was not a Howerton, the
Covington records should reflect that her last name is unknown.
William and Thomas did come to
Virginia early, but as indentured servants transported by John and George Mott.
This information was compiled by
Howerton researcher, Bryan Howerton, whose
work in always documented. The data discovered is:
Thomas Howerton was born about
1640 in England, exact location not yet discovered. He came to the Virginia
colony about 1663 as he was one of
313 people claimed as
"headrights" by the brothers Mott on 17 October, 1670. The Motts were
awarded a Patent for 15,564 acres of land on waters
draining into the Rappahannock
River as compensation for the indentured people whom they had transported to
the colony. William Covington, who
became a partner of Thomas Howerton, was
included in the group of people for whose transport the Motts received the land
patent.
So, in or around 1663, the
Covington ancestor and the Howerton ancestor arrived together, as indentured
men. We don't know the name of the wife
of Thomas Howerton, but we know
the first name of the wife of William Covington- it was Dorothy, but she and
Wiliam were contemporaries of
Thomas Howerton, not younger!
By 1670, close to seven years
after arrival, William and Dorothy Covington and Thomas 'Haywarton' paid 3000
pounds of tobacco to a William
Richards for 300 acres on Dragon
Swamp.
We have never established any
proof that Dorothy was a Howerton. What is the Covington proof of her surname?
Thomas may not have even been
married in 1670, as William and
Dorothy sign as husband and wife, and Thomas Howerton signs alone, the deed
dated 10 October, 1670.
The land on Dragon Swamp they
bought as partners, is a part, evidently of the 15,564 acres that the Motts
were awarded.
On 3 April, 1683, William
Covington and Thomas Howerton were dividing the Dragon Swamp land. The abstract
I have seen on this Agreement to
divide omits the name of Dorothy.
On 4 April, 1683, "Agreement
between Howerton and Covington to divide land from Mr. Mott. Howerton to have
land on the south side and
Covington to have land on the
north side of Dragon Swamp.
On 17 April, 1683; Thomas
Howerton witnessed a deed from William Covington to his brothers."
The early Old Rappahannock and
Essex records are the ones abstracted for all the data above.
Can anyone add to any of
this?" (abruce@televar.com)

Amy 6200. He followed his brother
Thomas to Amelia County in 1740 and bought land there. He was sued for debt in
1741 and again in 1746.
After his first wife died, he
returned to Essex County to marry a widow and then returned to Amelia. In 1772
he sold his land, left his son William in
charge of collecting and paying
outstanding debts and moved to Edgefield County SC where he obtained land on
Sweetwater Creek.
He became a Captain in the SC
Militia and when the Revolution started their unit was engaged in the siege of
Augusta. This battle didn't involve
any British troops, but was
strickly between Loyalists and Patriots. William was assigned to General
Pickens to care for the sick. He was able to use his
own supplies to do this since he was less than
10 miles from home. After the war he put in a claim for about 60 pounds in
personal expenses and
was apparaently paid in full. His
will is in the state archives in Columbia SC (info from Bryan Covington 2002)

mail from Mike Merritt Feb 2010 -
outlndr@msn.com "Hello -
I have enjoyed studying your very
helpful website. I think I may have found out what happened to Ann Covington,
d/o William and Rosamond. This
isn't quite proven, but I was
hoping to send this timeline to somebody researching this line to see what they
thought.
William Covington had married a
Rosamond unknown. William's will, proven in 1721, lists among others, a minor
daughter Ann.
Widow Rosamond Covington
remarries William Carroll after 1721, making Ann his step daughter. (Your
website seems to suggest that Caroll was her
maiden name, but really she
picked it up after William Covington died. Your site is quite good by the way,
very helpful to me)
Rosamond dies before 1731.
Between 1728 and 1731, William will marry another Widow, Mary Gresham. So now
Ann Covington has two step
parents. She also picks up a step
brother, Robert Gresham.
In 1731, William and Mary
(Gresham) Carol, and Robert Gresham, sell their combined interest in several
properties to my ancestor, John Meritt. Very
strong hint of a family connection behind
these land sales and we have searched for it for months, eliminating many
possibilities.
In 1737, John sells these lands,
and his wife ANN relinquishes dower. First record of her name as a Merritt.
We have looked for Ann
extensively. She is not a Gresham nor anybody else we know. She likely married
John before the 1737 record. Other records
make it appear that John Merritt has some kind
of connnection to the Covingtons by 1727, although a different line than Ann's.
(The line down from
Richard SR to JR)
I am suggesting that Ann Merritt
is in fact Ann Covington, d/o William and Rosamond. They are the same age. John
only came off his father's levy
in 1722, suggesting he was born
just after 1700. Very close to Ann Covington's age. And they have to be right
there together by at least 1731. It's
almost like Ann came with the
property. By her being a step daughter of William Carroll and step brother to Robert Gresham, we have a perfect
explanation for the the
apparantly family driven land sales to John Merritt. All these folks stick
together in later records.
John Merritt appears in several
other Covington records as well, as if he were some kind of family, but none of
that made sense until I saw this
connection. Although, he may have
a sister married to another Covington (Richard JR, cousin of William) but that
is for another story!
The only part of this I cannot
prove is that Ann is in fact Ann Covington. Preponderance of evidence may be
all I get.
I am hoping you or a researcher
you know might take a look at this and let me know what you think. I can flesh
out the timeline with actual records
and sources.
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely, Mike Merritt"

"King Cerdic, Reined King of
the West Saxons, 519 - 534 AD, England" by D. A. Sharpe Aurora,Wise
County, Texas. March 29, 2006. Updated
Postings on the Internet:
http://www.dasharpe.com/geneology/Cerdic.pdf. King Cerdic is the 50th great
grandfather of my son-in-law, Steven Odis
Westmoreland.
King Cerdic is the 37th great
grandfather of Edward Southworth, the first husband of Alice Carpenter, my
eight times great grandmother. Since I am
descended from the union of Alice
with Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower, technically there is not a direct
relationship to Cerdic. However, it is
my pleasure to claim the indirect relationship
to Kings of such antiquity, and to know our daughter married into this line.
She and Steve are 34th
cousins, four times removed.
Cerdic represents the oldest
identified ancestor of this writer, being in the 51st generation. That means
that an average generation for this line is less
than 30 years each.
It was said that Cerdic and his
son, Cynric, came into Britain on five ships about 495 AD. They were one of
those many nomadic Germanic tribes of
people whose barbarian savagery
and rough manner of life struck terror in the hearts of many peoples where ever
they were attacked across Europe.
He was a Saxon earldorman who
founded a settlement on the coast of what became known as Hampshire, England.
By the time Cerdic was born,
according to tradition, St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, may have
already died in Saul on March 17, 461 or
maybe as late as 493.
Source:http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11554a.htm Cerdic was recognized as King
of the West Saxons in 519, and reined
until 534. In 534, Cerdic's
forces conquered the Isle of Wright. Later in this year was when Cerdic died.
We all have heard of the illusive King Author
of England. It is impossible to
pinpoint who he was or exactly when he, if he was one person and not an
embodiment of several hero Kings, ruled
English land sides. However, the
time of Cerdic's arrival is right in the time span when many believe King
Author was roving the land. (Source:

The document plots the 51
Generation of Sharpe's son-in-law Steven Odis Westmoreland's family back to
King Cerdic. Well worth a visit to the web

COVINGTON IV
[This William was the son of
William Covington III and Ann Coleman. Many researchers record his wife as one
Frances Kavanaugh - though
documentation for this seems
lacking, various family records record her name as such. Her parentage is
undocumented - although many record her
as a daughter of Philemon
Kavanaugh Sr. or Jr. - Frances Kavanaugh Covington seems to have died before
this will was written]. There are other
researchers who suggest that only
Robert was son of Mary Frances Kavanaugh & that all the other children were
from William's marriage to Amy St
John - awaiting confirmation.
In the name of God, Amen, I
William Covington of Culpeper County, being in a weak and low state of health,
but through the mercy of God is
restored my proper senses, doth
make this my last will and testament and revoking all other wills heretofore

standing on the river bank near a large
rock that runs into the river
thru a northerly course to a long line of marked trees to John Strothers line
to the river and up the river to the beginning
supposed to be about fifty acres
which said land I give to my daughter Ellinor and her heirs forever be the same
more or less.
Item - my will is that all my
land lying above the mouth of a small branch that comes round my upper meadow
empties into the river near opposite

meadow setting of from a small hickory thence running northerly to a line of
marked trees beginning at two
red oaks and a white oak, thence
running near the course of the old field westerly to a white oak and hickory
sapling, thence a north course to John
Strother's line on my back line,
thence along the said line to my corner and my brother Richard Covington,
thence down a branch that is a line or
boundary between myself and
Richard Covington to the River, thence down the river to the beginning,
supposed to be about one hundred and fifty
acres, be the same more or less,
which said land I leave to be equally divided between my three youngest
daughters: Grizzel Cooper, Elizabeth
Covington, and Lucy Covington, to
them and their heirs forever.
Item - I give all the rest of my
land except the acres I reserve for a burial ground to my son Robert Covington,
to him and his heirs forever.
Item - I give my negro man,
Simon, to my son Robert Covington, to him and his heirs forever.
Item - My will is that at my
death, all my personal estate shall be equally divided between my daughter
Elizabeth Covington and Lucy Covington.
Item - I appoint my son Robert
Covington, Robert Hensley, and William Covington to be my executors to this my
last will and testament, in witness
whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and seal this eleventh day of February, One Thousand Seven Hundred and

Phebe, Mother Ref:
13912. Died: around 1863 at Columbus MS aged
76. Mar: around 1815 at Abbeville Co SC
to Martin, Mildred Tutt 13935. Provision was made in
his father's will for him and his
brother Richard to complete their education before the estate was divided. He
enlisted in the army during the war of
1812. South Carolina raised 2
Regiments during the war named Youngblood's and Austin's. Austin's had a 1st Lt
named Richard Covington, and 3
Privates named Edmund, Richard
& William Covington.
There may have been another
family of Covingtons living in that part of the state, possibly related to the
Edmund Covington (6176) of Lunenburg
Co VA. William and Richard later
moved from Edgefield to Abbeville County and obtained land on the Rocky River
in the upper part of the county.
William remained there until 1836
when he moved to somewhere near Columbus MS on Wolfe Rd. The family farmed a
large amount of land with
many slaves.
William had 2 slave boys of whom
he was fond and named them Little Aaron & Big Aaron. He wrote his will in
1855. By that time all his children
had died except Ben and James. By
the time he died about 1863, James had died and Ben was fighting in the war and
would not return, so any
estate he left after the war
probably went to the widows of these 2 sons. His will was probated in 1864 and
is on file in the Court House in Columbus.
He is probably buried in the
family plot in Columbus MS (unmarked). A billfold that he once owned still
exists. (info from Bryan Covington 2002)

Mother: Old, Phebe, Mother Ref:
13912. Died: during 1836 at Columbia SC aged
48. Mar: around 1815 at South Carolina
SC to Birley, Nancy 13937. An early family story said he
was an officer in the Battle for
New Orleans in the war of 1812 but the roster of troops at the battle\ site
doesn't mention his name. He became
wealthy for his time and owned
many slaves, several show horses and a 50 saw cotton gin. The gin must have
been hand-operated as it was only
appraised at $100. In 1836
Richard wrote a log detailed will giving things to many friends and relatives
and making special provision for a mulatto
slave woman named Mima and her
son Alfred (or Alford) to be provided with 50 acres of land and a comfortable
cabin.
Almost immediately he wrote a
codicil to the will revoking almost everything and leaving most of his estate
to his brother William. He did however,
remember Mima and Alfred by
providing that they be taken to one of the "free" states and allowed
to remain there if she wished. No one knows who
Alfred's father was. Roichard's
will is on file at the state archives in Columbia SC (info from Bryan
Covington)

Shepherd (mngkaren@aol.com) info also from
John Hardy & Ann Williams
family tree but they state he died 4 May 1841 in Macon, Bibb Co GA.
Obit for John Burnette Covington-
Macon Ga newspaper 'MACON
TELEGRAPH' of May 4, 1841 (Bibb County, Ga)
"John B. Covington, Esq,
died near Altoona, Ga. On 9th inst. Suddenly, formerly of Hamburg, SC."
Hamburg was located in SC just
across the river from Augusta GA and is the area which was called formerly
south of Campbellton. He rented a ware
house (perhaps on lot 231) in
Hamburg SC across from Augusta GA, See
http://www.arete-designs.com/shultz/genealogy/index.html
John B. Covington's family was
already living in Alabama when he died and he may have been on a trip back to
South Carolina to take care of
some business. When John Burnette
Covington left Hamburg, SC after 1833, he first settled in Cherokee Co.
Alabama.
John Burnette Covington was
married to Lucilla Taylor b circa 1789 in SC. His descendants said that Mary
Fair, a half/sister of the Covington
children, daughter of Lucille and
Isaac Fair was married to a Mr Anderson (of Edgefield SC?) and it was said that
Mr Anderson was quite rich and left
the Covington children much money but the
Covington children reported that it never was trickled down or made available
to them. So Mary Fair,
step daughter to John Burnett
Covington, married Mr. Anderson and they had no children but left her Covington
half siblings money.
1810 Lucilla Fair widow of Isaac
Fair, living next to William Taylor (probably her father who was b ca 1750).
Lucilla Fair has a young boy and a
young girl (Mary?). She
apparently married John Burnette Covington about 1815. Lucilla's daughter Mary
Fair and her unknown brother went along
to Alabama.
So was it Lucilla Fair, Taylor or
Traylor who John Burnette married?

15107. Richard and Charles
Covington were in the Civil War. After the war, the two boys left Rockingham
County, NC with their mother and sister to
move to Missouri where several of
Elizabeth Hudnall Covington's siblings had migrated.
The following article comes from
a webpage ebntitled "The Covington, Hudnall & Hunley Connections"
by Jerry Tate Dryden. It gives a detailed
review of Richard Anderson
Covington's life and makes references to various other members of his family:
"Richard Anderson Covington
was born in Rockingham County, North Carolina the son of Captain Joseph
Anderson Covington and Elizabeth R
Hudnall Covington.
Six months after the end of the
Civil War, Richard along with his brother Charles arrived in Missouri by
covered wagon. In all, their father Joseph
Covington had 12 children, with
two wives, but records show only four of his offspring migrating to Missouri.
The first three were the brothers
mentioned above and their sister
Mary Susan (May Sue) in December 1865. Several years later an older half
sister, Catherine Covington Hudnall,
who married their mother's
brother Richard N. Hudnall arrived in Missouri.
Additionally, the Covington
brothers brought their mother Elizabeth Hudnall Covington, who had been widowed
for two years and her younger
unmarried sister, Mary C. (Polly)
Hudnall. Their Aunt Polly had lived with the Joseph Covington family for many
years, probably to assist in raising
their large number of children.
Richard and Charles had made their father a deathbed promise in 1863 that they
would always care for their mother,
aunt and sister.
The Covington brothers, both had
fought in the Civil War for the Confederate States of America. The story goes
that near the end of the war they
came upon a Union soldier
acquaintance that had been hung by his thumbs by the Confederates. They rescued
their friend. The brothers believed
this to be such a savage and
inhumane act that it motivated them to cross the lines and defect to the Union
Army for the remainder of the war.
According to the records
contained in "NC TROOPS", Volume X, pages 12 and 13, Richard
Covington enlisted as a private in Company D of the 5th
Cavalry Regiment "Rockingham
Rangers" of the 63rd Regiment, NC Troops, on February 9, 1864. On December
24th Richard transferred to
Company A, The Rockingham
Zollicoffers, joining his brother Charles who had enlisted in Company A, 45th
Regiment, NC Troops, on the 24th of
October 1864. "NC
TROOPS" reported that on or about February 15th, 1865 they deserted to the
enemy and were confined on the 21st of February
1865 in Washington, DC, until
released on a unspecified date after taking the oath of allegiance. At the end
of the war it was decided that it would
be best if they migrated west
taking along several other family members.
The Covington brother’s mother's
sister, Nancy Williams Hudnall, had earlier married Thomas Weeks and they had
migrated to Missouri in 1850.
After arriving in Montgomery
County, the Covington party stayed at the Weeks home, located about 1½ miles
west of Mineola, until they could settle
elsewhere. Most aspects of the entire covered
wagon trip are recorded by Mary Susan Covington in a diary.
As a point of interest, the
Covington brother's sister Mary Susan was brought to Missouri because she was
being courted by a tobacco "drummer"
named John Jesse Hopper in North
Carolina and the family did not want them to marry. They believed that bringing
her to Missouri would probably
put an end to their courtship.
After arriving in Missouri in
December of 1865 the Covington brothers were somewhat dismayed to see Mr.
Hopper arrive on horseback the following
spring. Mary Susan and John
Hopper were married on May 23, 1866. The Covingtons agreed to the marriage if
the couple promised to remain in
Missouri. The couple obviously
agreed, were married and lived on a farm directly across the old national road
(highway 40) from Richard
Covington's farm. They had only
one son, Samuel Allen Hopper. Samuel, however, bore them 10 grandchildren.
Richard Covington's wife to be,
Nancy Margaret Hunley, arrived in Missouri in the Fall of 1872 by a covered
wagon, driven by her older brother
Daniel W. and his wife Tabitha
Hudnall Hunley (Richard's maternal aunt). Nancy and Daniel's father had died in
the Civil War and the 22 year old
young lady was left in the care
of her brother. The Hunley's also had brought with them Tabitha's mother Mary
(Polly) Williams Hudnall who had
been an invalid for more than
nine years. They made a pallet for her in the wagon but she died within a month
after arriving in Missouri. Tabitha
also brought their 11 year old
adopted son, Rufus Ward Hunley.
The Covington's family story was
that Tabitha and her sister Rebecca had found the abandoned baby in a brush
pile near the home. Since Tabitha
was
married, she took the baby, naming him Rufus Ward Hunley. As noted several
times below Rufus became entwined in the lives of many of the
people of Montgomery and Callaway
counties. There are records of other Hunleys coming to Missouri at various
times. They are Martha (married an
Auchly), Fannie (married R. W.
Andrews), Daniel M. (never married- lived with his Aunt Rebecca Conley) and
Sally (who married Lafayette
Thompson).
An interesting twist to this
story is that Rufus Hunley, the abandoned baby, was rumored to be the son of
the Covington brother's unmarried niece
Emoline Virginia Covington
(daughter of John Anderson Covington) back in North Carolina. The tale that the
baby had been found in a brush pile
was simply a cover to spare the
family much embarrassment. Rufus Ward Hunley, was born on June 17, 1861 and
died at the age of 93. He was
raised by his adopted parents to
be a school teacher and Baptist Preacher. He taught country schools in the area
for many years. Some of his schools
were Conley, Peytonia, Bridge (near Americus)
and Freedom. Rufus returned periodically to North Carolina to visit his birth
mother. On one
occasion Emoline, who had married
a Mr. Heath, came to Missouri to visit.
After his adopted mother
Tabitha's death in 1909 Rufus returned to Leaksville, North Carolina and taught
school there for several years. While there
he married Miss Lizzie Carter on
September 16th, 1914. Soon afterward they returned to make Missouri their
permanent home. Rufus and Lizzie
had no children. Late in life
Rufus reverted strictly to preaching. He married all of Richard and Nancy's
children. He was loved by all his relatives and
those who knew him. Rufus and Lizzie are
buried at Nettle Cemetery. Pat Timmerberg who married Martha Margaret, the
daughter of Joseph
Burton Tate, said that Rufus
Hunley was his only schoolteacher.
It is well documented that the
Covington family migrated from the Leaksville area in Rockingham County, North
Carolina. In the obituary of Mary
Sue, scribed by the Reverend
Rufus Hunley, he writes that Mary Sue Covington Hopper had "professed
faith at the age of 16 years, uniting with the
Baptist Church of Leaksville, N.
C. Leaksville is in Rockingham County only 2.8 miles south of the Virginia
border.
A great great great granddaughter
of Joseph Covington has recently located their family home in Leaksville.
Adjacent is the family graveyard with
the headstones of Joseph A., his
first wife Elizabeth and Richard Hudnall, his father in law still intact,
Interestingly, the area of Leaksville has streets
with the name Anderson (the
middle names of Richard Covington and his father), Boone, and Henry. In 1968
the city of Eden, N.C. was formed from
the towns, Leaksville, Spray and Draper.
Rockingham County joins the Virginia Counties Patrick and Henry on the North.
It was a Covington family
rumor that Rufus Hunley was
related to Patrick Henry through his birth father, purported to be a Mr. Ward.
Charles W. Covington married
Jennetta Tate on the 2nd of April, 1874. They lived on the "Old Holt
Place" on the far western boundary of
Montgomery County adjoining the
farms of brother Richard Covington and brother-in-law John Hopper, over the
border in Callaway County. They
had four children, Margaret
(Maggie), Joseph, Frances (Frances) and Celia Mae. Jennetta was the daughter of
James Northerland Tate a brother of
Caleb Warren Tate, grandfather of
Joseph Burton Tate. Her brother Henry Franklin Tate and his wife Drushane Hall
Tate were the parents of Henry
Monroe (Mon) Tate, husband of
Susan Rose Covington, youngest daughter of Richard Covington.
Nancy Margaret Hunley at the age
of 24 married Richard Covington on the 12th of November, 1874. After marriage
they lived on a farm on the
south side of the national road
in Callaway County, adjoining the Montgomery County border and the farms of his
sister and brother.
Richard (Dick) Covington and
Nancy had 5 children, Lucy Dillard (born August 27th, 1875), Sally Bette (born
May 3rd, 1878), Judith Walker (born
November 3rd, 1880), Charles
Ruffin (born August 6th, 1882) and Susan Rose (born June 9th, 1886). They
farmed the location described above
until 1896 when Richard Covington
became suddenly sick and died.
Nancy stayed on the farm until her son Charles
Ruffin married in 1906. Soon thereafter she moved to Portland, MO and lived
with her daughter
Sally Bette. Nancy died while
visiting a sister, Mrs. Sally Thompson living near Williamsburg. Richard and
Nancy Covington are buried in
Montgomery County in the
Holt-Covington Cemetery located on the old Charles Covington farm. Also buried
in this cemetery are Charles Covington
and his wife, Richard's and
Charles' Mother Elizabeth, and their Aunt Mary C. (Polly) Hudnall. There are
also numerous other Covingtons, Hunleys,
Hoppers and Weeks over several
generations resting there. Many of the other Hudnalls and Hunleys are buried
about two miles due north in the
Nettle Cemetery."

His will is on file at Columbus MS. He left everything to his father except
one slave girl which he gave to

named Elizabeth (info from Bryan

aged 46. Mar: during 1845 at South Carolina
SC to Nielson, Jane Crawford
13941. Known as Ben. He was not a
slave holder and may have been a teacher or businessman. He bought the family
plot in the Friendship
Cemetery in Columbus MS. At the
start of the Civil war he enlisted in the 35th Mississippi Infantry as a 1st
Lt. His service record is in the National
Archives in Washington DC and is
about 20 pages long.
The Confederates kept very good
records at the beginning of the war and none by the end. At times he was 1st
Lt, 2nd Lt and Captain. As a Captain
he received $60 a month in
Confederate money. The 35th was in almost continuous fighting in MS and AL. Ben
was wounded at Corinth, captured
at Vicksburg and killed at Mobile
Bay where he was CO of Company H. He was probably killed on 9th April 1865
which was the day of the final
charge and the same day that Lee
surrendered in VA. (info from Bryan Covington)
