Ashley was enrolled initially, on 7 October 1863, in Company A of the 4th Florida Infantry Battalion (Confederate).
The 2nd Florida Infantry Battalion and the 4th Florida Infantry Battalion were combined and redesignated as the 11th Florida Infantry Regiment, when the 11th Florida Infantry Regiment was sent to join the Army of Northern Virginia... which was probably just after Ashley J. Davis deserted.
There was a Yellow Fever epidemic along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline and in Union vessels in the Gulf in the general time frame that Mariah and the children died at the Cedar Keys. Though the witness's account did not specifically name Yellow Fever, it did say that the illness was "a malignant type of fever that prevailed there at that time."
Ashley Davis, also became ill... and he died of "chronic diarrhea" at the 1st Florida Cavalry (Union) regimental hospital at Barrancas, Florida, on 29 September 1864.
Although Ashley Davis is not identified by name, at least in the cemetery interrment listing of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that is available on the web, his body was probably buried at what is now the Barrancas National Cemetery, near the landward side of the peninsula. There are a number burials there indentified only as "Unknown Union Soldier"... as well as some attributed to named troopers of the 1st Florida Cavalry (Union).
