When my email address changed I tried to contact you and it came back. My daughter looked for information at UWF library and found this brief quote on p. ll02 of " Biographical Rosters of Florida's Confererate and Union Soldiers 1861-1865 Vol III" "Quails, Levi enlisted 5/19/64 in Covington Co. AL and was present on the last roll. He deserted to the US in February 1865, took the oath and was sent to Pensacola." This was listed under Eleventh Florida Infantry, Company C. I don't really understand it all but it seems like he held out as long as he could and then bailed when he saw the handwriting on the wall. He was not young and had lots of children to care for. Guess it explains why he isn't listed as a confererate vet in Cov. Co. Let be know if you have any new info. on his origins or Malinda's.
