Pvt. William M. Graham (b. Jackson County, MS, 1838-d. Jackson County, MS, 1909), "Twiggs' Rifles" (aka "Capt. H.B. Griffin's Independent Company of MS Volunteers," raised in Jackson County, MS), which became Co. L, 27th MS Infantry. Enlisted June 3, 1862, at Mobile, Mobile County, AL, at age 24. Present on June 1862 company muster roll. "Wounded and left at Perryville, KY, Oct. 8, 1862," according to the Feb. 1863 company muster roll; April 1863 company muster roll confirms that he was left "by order of [the] Regimental Surgeon." [Note: This would have been at the Battle of Perryville, KY, which occurred on the stated date.] Federal POW records show that he was captured on Oct. 9, 1862, the day after the battle. Forwarded for exchange on Jan. 27, 1863, from Military Prison, Louisville, KY, to Fort McHenry, Baltimore, MD.Arrived as a POW at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, MD, on Jan. 31, 1863.Admitted to U.S.A. General Hospital, Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD, on Jan. 31, 1863, probably to have his wound ("gunshot wound, leg") treated, and apparently returned to POW population same day. Pursuant to exchange, paroled at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, MD, and forwarded Fortress Monroe, Hampton Roads, VA, same day. Physically exchanged at City Point, VA (on the James River, near Richmond, VA), on Feb. 2, 1863. Admitted same day to General Hospital, Petersburg, VA, suffering from a gunshot wound to his left thigh (i.e., his Perryville wound). Furloughed from said hospital for 40 days, commencing on Feb. 21, 1863.Present with his command again on the Feb. 1864 company muster roll.It is unclear whether Pvt. Graham was able to continue in service, as he appears on no further records with this command. On April 9, 1865, for purposes of surrender at war's end, the 27th MS Infantry was consolidated with the 24th MS Infantry, the 29th MS Infantry, the 30th MS Infantry, & the 34th MS Infantry to form the 24th Consolidated MS Infantry. Pvt. Graham does not have a war's-end parole with this consolidated command.Buried in the Old King Cemetery (aka the Graham Family Cemetery, aka the Cowart Cemetery, and aka the O'Neal Cemetery),specific directions/location not available, but said to be located on private property just off Turner Whittington Road in the SW corner of George County, Benndale, George County, MS, in an unmarked grave.[Note: There are three cemeteries in George County, MS, that contain the name "Cowart." These are the Byrd-Cowart Cemetery, 30.84080 -88.85250, located in the woods, appr. 250 ft. S of a point on Firth Littlefield Road that lies appr. 1200 ft. W of that road's intersection with Gene Sumrall Road; the Cowart Cemetery, 30.90610 -88.46750, located appr. 600 ft. N of the intersection of US Hwy. 98 and Beaver Creek Road, Shipman; and, the Old King Cemetery (aka the Graham Family Cemetery, aka the Cowart Cemetery, and aka the O'Neal Cemetery), no GPS, but said to be located on private property just off Turner Whittington Road, Benndale, in the SW corner of George County.]
