• Robert Spradling (2 Dec 1904) - After the surrender at Vicksburg, MS and while on parole, AJW returned to his home in East TN with those in his command. They were ordered to go to parole camps for exchange. Because of his wound, he was unable to comply. The country was captured by Federals, and AJW was unable to get back to his command.
• Andrew J. Waller (25 Oct 1903) - AJW had applied for a pension before and was rejected because he needed to explain why he did not return to the service. The reason for this was because of the wounds he received in his right leg on 22 Jun 1863 at Vicksburg, MS. He was at his father's home in McMinn County recovering, when Capt. J. R. Binion visited his home. The Captain told him to remain at his father's house, because he could not be of any more service to the army. The Confederate Army had moved south, and AJW did not know where they were located and could not return.
• Robert Spradling (2 Dec 1904) - RS provides a list of men who served and where they are currently living.
