We will all leave here in the morning. We had a small chunk of a fight with the Lincolnit[es] the 2 day of this instant. We killed six of them & taken one prisoner & wounded ten more.

59th Tenn
1. In researching the history of the 59th Tennessee Infantry, C.S.A.,I find two soldiers, James and Henry Cansler, who I assume are sons of Catherine Cansler, of Monroe County, Tennessee. What I can gather about Catherine, a white woman, is that she was born in North Carolina and married her father's former slave.
James Cansler enlisted as a "cook" in Co. B of the Regiment on 10-6-62, in Madisonville, and was present with his Company thru June 1863, enduring the Siege of Vicksburg. He has no Federal parole from the surrnder of Vicksburg, but was probably just released by the Federal authorities. James probably enlisted later in Co. K of the 40th U.S. Colored Infantry.
Henry Cansler enlisted in Co. E of the same Regiment on 3-7-63, also in Madisonville. He was paroled at Vicksburg, which is his last record in the unit.
There is another Cansler, Hugh Lawson White Cansler, who I assume is another brother. He served in the 43rd Tennessee and applied for a Tennessee Confederate "colored man's pension", #122.
Can anyone provide me with more information on these fellows? Am I correct in assuming that they are brothers?

Henry and James Cansler CSR do not indicate Negro . Hugh is listed in the Tn. Pension applications.

12th Tenn.
1. Charley Hill, Co. K, Drummer, Field and Staff. Free colored. Enlisted May 23, 1861, Jackson, Tn. for a period of 12 months. Present on last card, Jan. & Feb. 1862. Fold3
The first after-action report written by then Brigadier-General U.S. Grant, was on the Battle of Belmont, Missouri, fought November 7, 1861. Part of the Confederate force was the Second Tennessee Infantry. The 2nd’s Captain of Company G, J. Welby Armstrong, had employed a “free man of color,” Levin Graham as a fifer and cook. Captain Armstrong would be killed in the battle, but the New Orleans Daily Crescent wrote of Levin in their issue for December 6, 1861, “He refused to stay in camp when the regiment moved, and obtaining a musket and cartridges, went across the river with us. He fought manfully, and it is known he killed four of the Yankees, from one of whom he took a colt revolver. He fought through the whole battle, and not a single man in our whole Army fought better.”
