    Keep in mind he would have been over 40 years when he went in.

    He was conscripted into service on 17 Apr 1862. He deserted at Jackson, Mississippi in July 1863. He was captured on 7 Aug 1863 and a prisoner of war until paroled at Alexandria, La. on 22 May 1865.

    It stated that he was dark complexioned, dark eyes, dark hair and 5 ft. 11 1/4 inches tall. On his tombstone it reads "Co E 16th LA Inf".

    He was the first one buried in Miller Cemetery in Starks, Louisiana.

    Notes:

    John L. "Saddler" is not same as John Johnson, son of Moses. John L. born in KY.
    A tree on Ancestry DNA Johnson Leads by doylejohnson67 seems to be DNA connected to John L and has noted there is no proof that John L. is Moses' son. Indeed, our DNA does not match to doylejohnson67. John "Saddler" is a different line."

  2. 5.  Nancy "Polly" Miller was born in 1805 in Mississippi; died after 1880 in of, Vernon Parish, Louisiana.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 1850, Calcasieu, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana

    Notes:

    some internet sites say she is daughter of Richard Miller b abt 1794 and Sarah Simmons.
    But if she was born 1805, Richard has to be older. Abt 1794 would make him only 11.
    These trees also say that Sarah Simmons b abt 1779 was daughter of James Simmons Jr 1775-1838 Cole's Creek, Natchez. Again, dates are not logical. James Simmons Jr is shown to have married Nancy Ann Sullivan b abt 1760. Perhaps just typos? A Sarah Simmons did married James Cole Sr. 1814 not giving her much time to have married Miller and had Nancy in 1805. James Cole Sr. did marry a Sarah Miller House on 7 Dec 1849. Records seem to be really mixed up.
