From the National Archives: Harmon S. Gatlin enlisted in the Confederate Army on the 22nd day of July, 1861, as a private of Captain A. P. Amaker’s Company A of the First Regiment of Florida Volunteers CSA . Harmon was born in Butler County in the State of Alabama and that he was twenty-two years of age when he enlisted. He is described as five feet, eleven inches high with sallow complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, and by occupation a farmer. He enlisted at Warrington, Florida, for one year. He was entitled to a discharge by reason of a surgeon’s certificate of disability on November 16, 1861. He received five dollars and eighty-six cents as the pay he earned between October 31, 1861, and November 16, 1861, at Pensacola, Florida, by Captain J. M. Cole. This is at the rate of eleven dollars per month.
Harmon S. Gatlin volunteered as a soldier in the
Army of the United States (Union) on April 7, 1864, one year before
the end of the Civil War. He enlisted for a period of three years
at Barrancas, Florida. (Fort Barrancas can be visited at the Pensacola
Naval Air Station.) Harmon was a 24 year-
old farmer with blue eyes, fair complexion, light
hair, and 5 feet, 11 1/2 inches in height. He was born in Butler
County, Alabama. He was mustered in on April 26, 1864, and
the service was credited to the town of Elba, Coffee County, 8th Congressional
District, Alabama. Harmon served as a private in
Company E of the 1st Regiment of the Florida
Cavalry. He was appointed saddler by order of Colonel Rielmansegge
on April 30, 1864. Harmon went on a recruiting service at East Pass,
Florida, in June, 1864. Harmon is listed as absent with leave
on an unlimited pass from General Asforth from May 1, 1865, through August,
1865, on the muster rolls. On the official muster-out roll in
Tallahassee, on November 17, 1865, Harmon’s record shows that he deserted
on May 1, 1865. (His brother, Joseph, is mustered out in November,
1865.) At the Adjutant General’s Office in Washington, D.C. on June 2,
1883, the charge of desertion against Harmon is removed. Harmon is
officially listed as honorably discharged on May 1, 1865, to complete his
military record by order of the Secretary of War. A discharge certificate
was furnished by the Adjutant General’s Office on June 8, 1883.
