However, Sarah Ann was expecting another baby and he was waiting for that baby to be born before going. He was conscripted into the Confederate Army and never saw his son who was born after he left home.

He had saved his money, $8.00 in gold and $250.00 in confederate money, to send home to his family. He was wounded in the Battle of Chickamauga. He was carried back from the battle and had told a friend he was not severely injured and would be all right. However, when the friend returned later he found James dead. He had been killed and robbed by some of his own men.
