Notes |
- MARCUS WILLIAM MILLS (1838-1910) older brother of Henry H. Mills, apparently gave his superiors a hard time during the winter encampment at Manassas, as muster records of Dec. 31, 1861, show a "stoppage of $5.50 of his pay by sentence of a Regimental Court Martial", and Feb. 28, 1862, he was "sick in camp" but "owed the Confederate States $3.00 by order of Court Martial Jan. 1862." But two years of army life had him pretty well regimented by November, 1864, when he was given "a furlough of convenience" during which he was allowed his pay of $18.00. His parole, signed by his mark at Winchester, April 26, 1865, describes him as 28 years old; 5 feet, 8 inches tall; with black hair and brown eyes. He married Catherine Jones and left descendants.
