He was a private in 1st Mississippi under Delay in the Mexican-American war in 1847 and was at the battle of Matamoris Mexico. In the war between the states (1861-1865) he was a 1st Seargent wiht company F, 19th Mississippi Infantry which was part of the Army of Northern Virgina (ANV) under the comand of Robert E. Lee.
