Bill, I agree. I knew that the 6th was not actively involved at either battle. I never could get that person to confirm his finding. Odd thing is, Daniel's son was born in August 1861. According to my grandmother, he never got to see his son (her father). I think he was KIA on 5/31/62 so that means he had not had leave to go home in nearly a year of service. Thanks to Jimmie Allen and Alan Pitts I was able to piece together what little info I have on my ancestor.
