Thank you for your response.
That would seem to solve one little mystery.
What is the reference for your source?
His cousin Reuben White Moger had his knuckles rapped for the manslaughter, rose to Sgt Major and upon leaving the service served with the South Down Militia at the same rank and died in Hillsborough in 1865.
