According to copies of James Meadows' Civil War documents that I downloaded from Footnote.com, James Meadows left Co. K and joined Co. G. He then left the 8th Infantry and joined the 25th Infantry. He fought at Chickamauga, GA with the 25th Infantry. James was my husband's 2nd great grandfather, and he seems to have been quite a...character.

James was the son of Charles and Rachel (MNU) Meadows. Charles and Rachel settled in the Flynn's Lick area of Jackson County, Tennessee and that is where James Meadows was born about 1832. According to his death certificate, James died in Gainesboro, Jackson County, Tennessee Jan 12, 1916 of La-Gripp (Influenza).

James was the great grandson of Rev'l War soldier, Isham Meador.
