Jeptha Middleton - Private |
Jeptha was born in 1812 and was 52 years old when he enlisted as a Private in Capt S. H. Dailey's Co. 1st Class Milita [Home Guard] Monroe County Alabama, Beats 5, 11 & 12. He enlisted 16 Sept 1864 along with four family members. It was late in the war and few had guns. Of the 100+ men only 13 had guns. Of the 5 Middleton's three had a weapon. Some of these home guard soldiers joined the Alabama Reserve units and fought in the last desperate days of fighting at Spanish Fort, Blakely and Mobile. May God rest their souls. I am distantly related to Jeptha by marriage.
