Oh my goodness, Rick, I could CRY! This is MY Patrick without a doubt. I am busy trying to find his record on NPS and Fold 3 to use for my UDC application. In my searches I did find Patrick in Virginia and in Tennessee, but assumed it was not him. Where do I go to find the information that states they "left Mobile and were mustered in at Richmond?" I think I'll need this to prove the transfer and the other on June 18th to the Navy. There is another listing for Patrick Ray in Virginia in Company 1. Could that be him as well. Please know I will be happy to compensate you for this research, as it is like a gift for me.
