Both Deserted in March of 1864. It was more of a home guard unit by the look of all the children he had during the war.Brother Levi Jennings served in another unit and is on the 1920 Scott County Pension List. William Madison Jennings is listed as a Farmer, Merchant, Methodist, and Republican. He was on the board of trustees for the old Shoemaker College in Gate City.
  Williams' oldest brother Royal fought for the north. He joined Company A of the 7th Kentucky Volunteer infantry on July 17, 1862 at Cumberland Ford, Kentucky (now Pineville, Bell County) Royal served through the Cumberland Gap campaign, as well as the unsuccessful assault on Chickasaw Bluffs, Mississippi. He fell ill during the campaign to take Vicksburg, before the Union troops actually got into ground action near Vicksburg, and was sent to a general hospital in St. Louis. He died there on April 3, 1863 of "chronic diarrhea" in the New House of Refuge Hospital. He is buried in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri.
