[538] on Sunday morning of the latter battle received a severe wound in the thigh, which disabled him until the following November, when he rejoined the regiment at Hanover Junction. On May 9, 1864, while in command of his company, at the battle of Spottsylvania, a minie ball inflicted a wound in his shoulder which incapacitated him for all further duty on the field. In November, 1864, when he again reported for orders, he was assigned to duty as assistant inspector for the districts of Arkansas and Texas. He reported to Gen. Kirby Smith, after making his way with much difficulty across the Mississippi above Natchez, and was ordered to San Antonio, where he continued in the performance of his duties until about June 1, 1865. Returning to North Carolina a few months later, he engaged in business, and in 1870 removed to Rock Hill and became the pioneer jeweler at that place. For many years he has been very successfully engaged in the grocery trade. He is deeply interested in the preservation of the heroic records of the Confederacy, and is lieutenant-commander of the local camp U. C. V. By his marriage in 1867, to Bettie Harris, he has four sons and four daughters.
