| Notes |
- William Lynch Ware was educated at St. James College in Maryland. At the start of the Civil War, he joined the 38th Mississippi Regiment under Col. Fleming Adams, a descendant of Anne Terrell and Robert Adams. At the battle of Shiloh, when other officers reportedly fled the field, Mr. Ware brought the Regiment back. He was only 18 years old, but General Price made him Adjutant of the Regiment the next day. He was wounded in both legs at Vicksburg and had to be taken from the battlefield by mule-drawn Ambulance. He was also wounded in the chest in a battle in Easter Mississippi and had to have a part of his breastbone removed. (Dicken, p.218)
