Eli Muse / Louisiana
I am seeking any information that anyone may have on an Eli Muse. He was born October 15, 1836 in Effingham Co., Ill. He moved to St. Helena Parish, La when he was 19 years old. He served with the Co. H 27 La. Inf. C.S.A. during the Civil War. After joining at Camp Moore, he was to sent to Vicksburg where he was captured and released. Somehow he ended up in Livingston, LA not far from home where he was capture again and held prisoner at Ship Island. About two months there he and a counterpart built a raft and escaped to the Mississippi coast and returned home.(The war ended during this time)He was married three times and has alot of desendents in this area. We have not been able to find out the names of his parents to continue our search. Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
