William Keen HULSE - b. 1806 Sullivan County Tennessee - d. July 2, 1863 at Camp Morton, Indiana as a Confederate Prisoner of War.
He was the son of William Pert Hulse, Jr. and the grandson of William Pert Sr. and Nellie (...?) Hulse.

The following is copied from the "History of Macoupin County, Illinois, Vol. 2", published 1911:

William K. Hulse was reared in Tennessee and learned the carpenter and joiner`s trade, becoming a flatboat builder and also a pilot on the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers. At the time of the Civil War he was a private in a Confederate Regiment. He was captured at Black River Bridge and imprisoned at Camp Morton,Indiana dying in prison when he was about 56 years of age. His wife died shortly after the close of the war, being then about fifty-five years of age. They were both members of the Methodist church. Mr. Hulse served as colonel of the State Militia of Tennessee previous to the war.

From the Research of Glen Land An 'expert' in Civil War History:

William was NOT A COLONEL in the Confederate Army. He may well have been a Colonel in the Tennessee Militia prior to the Civil War.
He entered Confederate Service as a 54 year-old PRIVATE! He indeed was captured by Federal forces (probably at "Big Black River). He died July 2,1863 at Camp Morton,Indiana as a Prisoner of War and is buried there....

He is mistakenly listed among the Confederate dead as WILLIAM R. HULSE.
