General:

John Milledge served in the Civil War in Capt Sam Ogden's Company of the lst Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Arkansas Cavalry. Before leaving Arkansas he was financially well off, however, during the Civil War the government confisticated five hundred bales of cotton, and whatever else they could find, and all they had left was their home and the store building.
John settled in Hays County, Texas. He and his family lived near San Marcos, Texas.
