List,

    Does anybody on this list know if there is a consolidated record of
CSA soldiers who took the Oath of Allegiance? My G-grandfather Richard
D Hendricks was a private in the King William Artillery(Carter's
Battery), Carter's Battalion, Rhodes Division. On his pension form #2
application, dated may 12 1908, - question- When did you leave the
service, and under what circumstances. Ans... Near Mt Airy NC
surrender.

    According to Richard's Service Record  - Company Muster Roll for
Oct. 31 1864 to Feb. 28 1865, dated Feb. 28, 1865 - Absent - On
Detached Service - Detailed as a Teamster.

    Family history has him as stopped by Union Troops near the state
line on present day rt 103(between Stuart Va & Mt Airy NC), they took
his wagon and horses(or mules) and left him stranded.

    Could he have surrendered and released without a O of A ? I
know of no record, either in his regimental rosters, pension files, or
Service Record that show him as having taken the Oath.

William
