William H. MEFFORD - Sergeant   
William, my 1C1R, enlisted in Co E, 5th Kentucky Infantry Regiment, CSA on 27 Sep 1862, in Gratz, Owen County, KY. Evidently, SGT Mefford was captured as a result of Grant's relentless campaign at Vicksburg on 04 Jul 1863 — the day after Lee's defeat at Gettysburg.* Since his trail doesn't surface until August 1870, when he was enumerated in the census. I'm still trying to find more information of his life and whereabouts.
