George, and there in lies my dilemma. Doesn't really matter where he was killed but it would be nice to know for sure. Even Alan and Jimmie weren't sure if this was my man because no one in my family knew his middle initial. But, Alan sent me a copy of a petition for a death claim and I recognized his father in law as a signed witness. John W Griggs. That was how I know this was him. Thank you for your help and I have a North Carolina descendant that maybe you can help with. I will post on that board.
