• Notes

  Nat was tall, handsome, and good natured. Among the first if not the very first, of his name to volunteer and enroll for the War, he joined the Confederate Army and went to Virginia in time to participate in all the first battles; safely passing through even the second battle of Manassas; after which when sitting at the Camp fire at night a stray ball took off his head and he was buried on the field.
