Military Service | This man is one of the more fascinating in the family tree. He was an aide-de-campe to Gen. William Walker, who apparently was part of invasions of Nicaragua in the late 1850s. One record of his time there was written by J.S. Jamison in Confederate Veteran. There is a "C.I. Fayssoux" listed as a private in the 17th South Carolina Infantry; he enlisted there in Oct. 1863, but had to be discharged for ill health. According to the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, he was "Cdr. vessel in CSN; later maj. CSA." This seems to be confused; he did command vessels before the war, but not, according to his biography in the Confederate Military History, vol. 10, during the war. [1, 2] | |
