Notes
a. Note:   During the Civil War William along with the other nearly thousand rebels who surrendered signed the following oath:
  To all whom it may concern, know ye that:
  I WilliamC Parham a private A Co. of reg't 43rd Miss. Vols C.S.A. Being a prisoner of war, in the hands of the United States Forces, in virtue of the capitulation of the city of Vicksburg and its garrison, by Lieut, Gen John C Pemberton C.S.A. cammanding on the 4th day of July 1863, do in pursuance of the terms of said capitulation, give this my solemn parole under oath- That I will not take up arms again againest the United States, nor serve in any military police, or constabulary force in any Fort, Garrison, or field work, held by the Confederate State of America, nor as guard of prisons, depots, nor perform any duties usually performed by Officers or soldiers against the United States of America, until duly exchanged by proper authorties. Signed by William C Parahm
  Sworn to and subscribed before me at Vicksburg,Miss, this 6th day of July 1863 Signed by Jno A Duer Cap. 45th Reg't Ill Vols and Parolling Officer.
  The Confederate parolees were marched to Brandon and Enterprise, Mississippi, arriving July 23, and they were furloughed for thirty days, These men just didn't return at the end of the furlough and their records say "AWOL" Belief that the cause was lost and anxiety over the welfare of one's family caused many a southerner to become a deserter.
