The History of Scotts Hill, TN, p. 51 "U.S. Possibility 7th Cav. Married Mary Davenport, sister of Isaac N. Davenport and may have served with Davenport. Captured by Gen. Forrest at Union City while on duty there and where his wife Mary and sons (Frazier, 6; Bud, 4; Fletcher, 2) had gone to be near him. Samuel was imprisoned at Andersonville where his brother-in-law Davenport (also a prisoner) helped him out all he could when he was almost starved and became critically ill. Records not clear whether he died in prison or finally got out. Family records say he died "during the war." After Samuel's capture, his wife obtained a light railroad hand-car, piled on what few things she and the three small boys had an pushed it all the way to Paducah where they were assisted to food and shelter. Mary died and is buried in Paducah. Records indicate that Samuel got back from prison to his family and also died soon and is buried with his wife in Paducah. The three boys were brought back here to be raised: Frazier by the family of Cook Middleton's parents; Bud, but Albert (App) McCollum; and Fletcher by a Mrs. Middleton. The boys great up and were married. Frazier married Katherine (Katy) White. Their children were: Willie, Molly, Samuel, Troy, Mina and Edward. Our Beaulah McCollum (Mrs. Virgil) Magers is one of a family of seven daughters and one brother born to Samuel and Mary Ann Houston McCollum."
