Best Name Ever for a Civil War Soldier: E. Pluribus Lincicum

From Civil War Talk.

A reader said he had found the name of an E. Pluribus Lincicum (Lincecum) of Co. E 11th Mississippi.

Unfortunately, he had a very short service in the Confederate Army.  He died of typhoid at Harpers ferry June 7, 1861.

What were his parents thinking.  Perhaps just very patriotic for a man destined to die while fighting against the United States.
