It is a guess that Hosea was born and died in Attala County, based on 1850 and 1860 census records of his family.

There is a Hosea as a Private in Company L, 1st Mississippi Artillery - Confederate. He enlisted February 1, 1863. He was captured at Vicksburg. Apparently his whole company was captured, including two other Weeks men, William and David. The company was paroled and the whole company had to sign oaths. On one card there is a note (Fold3.com) that says the company had been paroled but not yet exchanged. Then states that he died at home on July 30, 1863. This would have been after parole.

No marriage or children information has been found for Hosea. He was about 20 years old at the time of service. He probably wasn't married.

There is confusion because Allen B. Weeks and wife Elizabeth R. Walker Weeks had a son Hosea born abt. 1841. Allen's brother Jabus also had a son named Hosea, it appears from census records, who was born abt. 1844. In the information in the civil war records, the son of Allen and Elizabeth is the one who would be the correct age.
