The civil record follows Isom from Berrien and Lowndes counties to Barney and later Plant City, Florida. A 1930 newspaper photograph calls him a “veteran of 1861,” and the 1930 census independently records Civil War service. No pension or unit-linked service record has yet been identified.
Connection to Barney
Charles Nelson Isom appears in the Barney-area civil or voter records used by the Barney History Project. The military identification above is limited to facts supported by the cited records.
