In 1862, the McCall's father was killed while fighting in Antietam. Thomas and Ray had also fought (besides Antietam) in the battles of Shiloh, Gettysburg, and the Battle of Bull Run. At one point, Ray was imprisoned at Elmira Prison and later escaped. In August of 1864, Ray and Thomas participated in a large skirmish at the Chattahoochee River in Georgia under the command of Colonel Jeremy Barnsby. After the skirmish, Ray and Thomas were given orders to retreat to Jonesboro to reinforce supply lines. Ray and Thomas, fearing for their family's lives deserted their unit and fled to their family plantation.
