[Miles Gillem of
the 100th and Miles Gaillum of unassigned would seem to be the same
person. Possibly there was confusion because though born in Mason
County, Miles was enslaved in Fleming County at the time of
enlistment and was credited there rather than Mason.] Sept 1864
return says On daily duty at Sec 51 N N.W. RR by order of Captain
W.F. Surgin Comdg Regt.” Nov-Dec 1864 roll says “Absent sick
since December 16, 1864. December 1864 and January 1865 returns say
“Absent sick Nashville, Tenn. since December 16, 1864.”Jan-Feb
roll says “Absent sick at Nashville, Tenn. since January 16, 1865.”
[That date seems to be incorrect-- should be December 16, 1864].
March-April 1865 and all rolls thereafter soldier appears as present.
