Samuel A. Matthews Company, Mississippi Volunteers, Co.E, 16th Regiment, Ms Infantry, organized on 23 April 1863 at Holmesville, Pike Co., Mississippi. His military muster rolls indicate he was mustered in as a wagonmaster by Capt. Griffith on 21 Apr 1861 in Holmesville, Pike Co., Mississippi. He was 25 years old, with dark complexion, dark hair, dark eyes, six foot tall. At Corinth they connected with the 16th Mississippi regiment, composed of nine other companies and he was detached as a waggoner on May 1861 (Corrinth, Mississippi). John E J had a distinguished record fighting in some of the worst battles of the Civil War before he deserted at Petersburg, Virginia on the 27th of January 1865. He subsequently was taken Prisoner of War as a Rebel Deserter at Knoxville, Tennesse on 12 Mar 1865. He took the deserters oath on 16 Mar 1865 and was sent to Chattanooga, where he was paroled and ordered to "remain North of the Ohio River during the war." --------------- After the war --------------- After the war, John Edward moved from Mississippi to Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. He died in 1898 and his widow lived the remainder of her life on the homestead near Centerville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. She applied for a widow's pension. He and Adeline are buried in Holloway Bapt. Ch. Cem., formerly Old Hickory Cemetery on Old Hickory Rd. in Hollaway, LA. John E J was my grandmother's father. --- Note: The Haygoods always said their grandfather, John E J had a wife before Adeline. Emmett Haygood (Harrisonburg) said his grandfather had three children by her. He did not know the children. I have found no records of any children. All known children were Adeline Walter's children. I do not know what happened to Salina. ---------- Source records consulted for John E J Tarver: Bible record of Eunice Matthews Tarver, (Current owener son James Weatherly, Harrisonburg, LaSalle Par., Louisiana).
