Notes for WILLIAM JASPER ECCLES:
From notes supplied by Roy G. Eccles:
William Jasper Eccles took his family to California in the gold rush of 1849. By 1860-61, the lure of the gold fields had lost their illusion and William had moved his family back to Texas, settling for awhile in Belton, TX.
The family had just landed in Texas when William was inducted into service as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. According to the National Archives records, William served as a Private in Company G Infantry, 17th Texas, Regiments. He was captured at Fort DeRussy, LA on March 14, 1862, and sent to Baton Rouge, LA on March 17, 1864 as a prisoner of war. On May 16, 1864, he was admitted into the St. Louis General Hospital, New Orleans, LA suffering of Remittent fever, possibly Malaria.
Sometime after the war, William moved his family to Arkansas, probably near Little Rock. William and Clarinda were divorced soon after.
