[In June of 2000 I received an email from Jon K. Holcombe of Wellesley Island, New York with information about a Charles M. Smith, who was a member of the 12th NY Cavalry. The description of the man most closely resembles the fourth Charles Smith in the AGO report. If they are the same man, it is clear that the AGO report was in error in its report that he deserted. I have reached that conclusion. The information Jon Holcombe sent to me follows:

"The 1900 Census lists a Charles Smith, born August 1840, wife Mary E., born October 1845, married 34 years (1866), with Mary the mother of one child, still living. His occupation was listed as a farmer, and he owned his property free of mortgage. Both they and their parents were born in New York. (US Census 1900, Town of Mexico, Oswego County, New York. [Heritage Quest CD Rom T623\1143\Part1\179A]).
"Charles was born in Texas, Town of Mexico, and died Oct 22, 1920. He is buried in the New Haven Cemetery, Town of New Haven, Oswego County, NY.
"He served in the Civil War 1862-65 in the12th Calvary, was promoted to Corporal (History of Oswego; 1865 Census).
-----
"The National Archives and Record Administration files show that Charles M. Smith applied for and received a pension under 'soldier's certificate No. 922811' (Can No 18986, Bundle No 34). The title page of his papers lists his rank as Corporal with service in Co. B, 12 NY Cavalry. The promotion to Corporal occurred on June 30, 1864. His signatures on the various papers received from the NARA compare favorably with the signature on the note found among the papers from the MacCallum estate.
"The NARA file contains several items of information, including the fact that Charles, 'while on duty at New Berne, North Carolina on or about Fall of 1865 __ 1865, __ was disabled by deafness of both ears.' He was treated at the Regimental Hospital. His service was from enrollment on August 29, 1862, to his honorable discharge on July 1, 1865, by reason of close of the war. The pension application was in 1895, when he listed three subsequent disabilities— rheumatism, kidney trouble, and disabled wrist. At that time he lived in Demster. Other papers included affidavits from others that attested to his infirmities, including the fact that his wrist was broken when he was doing carpentry work and fell off a ladder in January 1889.
"Charles' personal information was that he was 5' 8" with dark eyes and dark complexion. The family information included a response to a questionnaire in early 1915, listing his wife, maiden name not clear, but probably Mary E. Alderich, who was his only wife and who had died 4 years earlier, their marriage, and the single child, Frederick D. Smith of New Haven, Oswego County, New York."
More: On September 9, 2000 I received another email from Jon Holcombe The major portion of the message follows:

I recently received the military records from the NARA on Charles M. Smith. He is definitely the same Charles Smith that you thought. The records show his voluntary enlistment on August 21, 1862 at Oswego City NY, for a period of three years.

He was transferred from Co A to Co B on May 20 1863 and was promoted to corporal on May 1, 1864. The continuing muster rolls for Co. B, 12 Reg't N. Y. Calvary, show him "present" through June 1865, well after the end of the Civil War.

Charles M. Smith, as he was always designated on the records, "Appear(ed) on Returns as follows: May 1865 On extraordinary duty on courier lines." Again, this was after the war ended.

The next record, "Muster-out Roll" for Charles M. Smith, from Raleigh NC July 19, 1865, under remarks, states as follows: "Deserted at Halifax NC, July 1 1865. Due US for one Sabre, Pistol & account ??? complete also carbine sling & swivel stolen Book mark: 3682 a (EB) 74"

I do not know the meaning of the notation Book mark: 3682 a (EB) 74, would you?

Another record in the materials states "NOTATION, Book mark: 3682 - a - 1874, War Department AGO, Washington Dec 15, 1885. The charge of desertion of July 1, 1865 against this man is removed and he is discharged to date July 1, 1865 under the provisions of the act of Congress, approved July 5, 1884. Discharge certificate furnished by War Department Dec 18, 1885. The notation of Jan. 31, 1884 is cancelled."

Perhaps you can interpret what happened here. I am given to understand that after the end of the war that many soldiers were either told they could go home and did, or were discharged from a medical facility. In the case of Charles M. Smith, he was a special courier just before the muster out and perhaps he was simply not present for that. The NARA did not sent any copy of an application that he might have submitted to change charge of desertion so I do not know what the story might be. Would you have any further information on this?

In any event, you may wish to supplement the information on Charles M. Smith on your web site, but please add the additional comments that the supposed desertion was AFTER the war was OVER, and therefore not a desertion in the face of the enemy, and that most likely it was an administrative problem that was later corrected. Certainly if there had been a serious problem, he never would have been awarded a pension in later year.
