Leander joined the Confederate Army with his brother, Jesse on May 14, 1862; he transferred to Co. B, 65th Regiment, Ga Inf, Mar 1863. He was appointed a Second Corporal on April 1863. He was absent without leave Nov 26, 1863 and was reduced to Private on Jan 1, 1864 while absent.
After Leander left the Confederate Army, he joined with his brothers, Miles and Murray in the Union Army. He said he was given leave to visit home, but he did not return to the Union Army. He said he had cut his foot and could not get his shoe on.
In 1891, Leander applied for a pension, but the application was denied, as he did not have an honorable discharge.
