Z 0924.000 Foxworth (Jobe M.) Diary and Account Book

Diary of Jobe M. Foxworth, who served as private in Company D, 7th Regiment Mississippi Infantry, Confederate States Army from May 4, 1861, until September 27, 1861, when he was appointed Second Lieutenant. He was reported in the hospital at Okolona, Mississippi, on May 28, 1862, and his name does appear on the rolls after that time. Entries made at Camp Lovell, Shieldsboro, Bay St. Louis, Corinth, and Summit, Mississippi and from Camp Jackson, Henderson Station, Tennessee. Foxworth's service is verified in a letter from The Adjutant General to Senator Pat Harrison, dated March 28, 1928. Foxworth was married to Frances Ball, and served in the Mississippi Legislature in 1890. The volume also contains mercantile and lumber accounts, without identification of business or location, but presumed to be those of the Foxworth family.
