Felix Johnston Staton is a known Confederate soldier. As for Joseph P. Staton I have yet to have verified his military service.
Any idea when exactly the Illinois incident happened?
If the home of Joseph P. Staton was in Marshall County, Kentucky, during the war and just after, why would he have rode through Tennessee going to or coming from Illinois?
Marshall County, Kentucky, supplied as many or more soldiers to the Union army as to the Confederate.
When and where did Joseph P. Staton die?
