Anthony was enlisted by Capt. Dillard 2nd Alabama Batt. Hilliard's Legion, later served with the 59th Alabama Infantry during the Civil War and was a third Corporal. Captured as a POW, 17 June 1864, paroled from Elmira, NY 19 Jun 1865. His parole and oath allegiance described him as 5 '8 light hair, blue eyes, 32 yrs old. He and his brothers William E, and George V. are said to have all walked home from NY together.
According to the on-line history of the Primitive Baptist Church , he was very crucial to the church being here: "This church was constituted Dec. 9, 1881, with nine members' presbytery Elder J. J. Cleveland and Deacon A. C. house. Elder Cleveland was their first, and is their present pastor;"
Anthony is my 3rd great uncle.
And is the cousin 5x removed of David Rowl, the memorial's creator.
