Found an interesting tidbit while compiling Civil War research guides for the
CASHION/CASON Research Project.
The following Confederate soldiers had at least one day and memorable experience in
common:
Private D CASON, of the I Company, 10th Infantry Regiment, Florida
Corp. Samuel R CASON, from Pitt County North Carolina, of E Co. 27th Infantry Regiment,
North Carolina
Corp. Montgomery D CASON, from Warren County, GA, of B Co. 48th Infantry Regiment,
Georgia
Lt. Hillary W CASON, from Ware County, GA, of B Co. 27th Infantry Regiment, Georgia.
All four were present and surrendered at Appomattox Court House, VA on 09 April 1865. lt.
Hillary W. Cason was commanding his regiment at the time of the surrender.
It will be interesting to learn if any of these men were related. Do any of you have
any information about these men? If you have anything about them, please tell us.
