Philip Bible, he was assigned to Company B, 62nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry (Rowans Regiment) later known as 80th Regiment Tennessee. November 1862, Company B was mustered at Sweetwater, TN. Records show that Private Dewitt was with his Company until July 4th, 1863, when he was captured at Vicksburg, Mississippi. On July 8, 1863, he signed an oath of allegiance. The Regiment was captured at Vicksburg, paroled in late July 1863. Company muster roll indicates that in September of 1863 he was paroled and noted to be in the enemy lines as a prisoner. In January 1864 the Regiment was paroled and declared exchanged on June 27, 1864. During the spring of 1865 it disbanded, having surrendered at Washington, Georgia on May 9, 1865. Wilson Dewitt survived the war, returned home to east Tennessee, (Monroe County) where he lived until his death sometime in 1895.
