Civil War Army Volunteer Enlistment
I downloaded an image of a Civil War Army Volunteer Enlistment, possibly from Ancestry or FamilySearch. It is unlikely I got it from Fold 3. it is for James M. Barnett who joined the 12th Cavalry in Tennessee in Company K. It says he was 18 and was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee. I want to compare his record from others in the collection to try to determine if he possibly could have been older than 18. Unfortunately I cannot find the collection. Can you help me.

Hello @LeRoy Atkins. Is this the James you are looking for?

The headstone application in the collection says he was born May 16th, 1846. He enlisted February 24th, 1864. The application can also be found on his Find a Grave.
