By Rick Frizzell in THE HERITAGE OF JACKSON COUNTY NC:
"Little is known of his early years until he enlisted in the CSA, CO H, 62nd Regiment, NC Infantry, at Webster on July 14, 1862. His service record indicates he saw action in NC, TN, and KY during the war. On Dec 29, 1862, his detachment was captured at Carter Depot in East TN during a Union calvary raid led by General Samuel Carter. Mack's unit was paroled the next day, pending a formal exchange of prisoners. In the summer of 1863, he served as a teamster for the army, hauling supplies and ammunition. The bulk of his unit was captured at the Battle of Cumberland Gap on September 09, 1863. He and his brother John were among those captured and apparently sent to Camp Douglas, IL. Later in life, Mack related in stories to his grandchildren how he was basically treated very well by the Yankees.
Following the war, Mack returned to Jackson County. In 1870...he and Mary lived on Long Branch, but moved to Little Savannah and his father's old home place by 1880, where he lived the rest of his life. He was a farmer, miller, and landowner with over 500 acres on Little Savannah and Long Branch. He filed for a Civil War pension in 1906 listing himself as disabled, having been run over by a wagon team. According to his grandson, Jonah Frizzell, Mack became an invalid with paralysis the remainder of his life. His youngest son, Harrison carried him to Webster to witness the last public hanging in Jackson County. Mack died in 1912 and Mary Ann filed for a NC widow's pension the next year. She is buried beside him. They had nine children who survived to adulthood and all but one, Mae Belle are buried in the Stillwell Cemetery."
