[Skaggs.FTW]
William
R. F. Singleton enlisted in the Confederate States of America (CSA) Calvary on
August 2, 1862 for three years or the end of the Civil War. He had a wife and
four young children at home but duty called. He selected the calvary and was
paid 40 cents a day for his horse. He signed up under C.C. Willborn as a private
of Company H. of Hughes Battalion, 4th Regiment, Mississippi Calvary. Originally
it was Capt. A.J. Bowles' Company, Hughes Regiment, but this company became
Company H. The record states that a large majority of those whose enlistment
dates were on the second of August were enrolled prior to that period. The
original organization occured on the second day of August, 1862 at College Hill.
They went to camp at Enterprise for instruction. In September they were ordered
to Saltillo, Mississippi and attached to the Brigade of Gen. M. E. Green in
Major General Sterling Price's Army of the West. They were with Price in the
movement to Iuka where a battle was fought on September 19, 1862 during Grant's
advance on Vicksburg. They were engaged in the Battle of Corinth on October 3rd
and 4th. There was a fight at Hatchie Bridge on the retreat and the battalion
moved by way of Ripley back to Oxford and thence to Grenada during Grant's
advance along the railroad from Memphis. They advanced around east during
Grant's capture of Oxford and destroyed Grant's supplies and ammunition at Holly
Springs. Grant was forced to retreat back to Memphis with the loss of over one
million dollars worth of war supplies. William R. F. Singleton was injured
during the fight at Holly Springs on October 31, 1862. He was captured at Oxford
on retreat from Holly Springs on December 2, 1862. He was 35 years old. He was
taken back north to Holly Springs and then to Cairo, Illinois as a prisoner of
war. He was received at Alton Military Prison on January 10, 1863 and died there
on February 4, 1863. The cause of
death is listed as: Phlhisis and Pulmonatis.
