I am certain that my GGGrandfather, William Washington Wilson and his son, my GGrandfather served in the Seventh Alabama Calvary, United States Volunteers, during the War. There is a site on the internet regarding them. However, I will post them to see if I determine what battles they fought in. Wilson is as common a name in the South and because the Wilson family is renown for its multiple children born in their families, there probably were many George Washington Wilson's in the Civil War.
I have seen William Washington Wilson's Honorable Discharge Certificate held by one of my cousins who still lives in Alabama near the "old home place".
Thank you again for your information. There were several Dennis family members who relocated to Missouri that were brothers to Granville, and served in Federal Service during the Civil War. I have spoken with my cousin, Robert Dennis, recently deceased, who lived in Oklahoma, who spoke of his GGrandfather, Sampson David Dennis, who served. I will put this in a separate post as well.
It is wonderful that this site is available for researchers to want more of the "grit" of the Civil War.
On a parting note, it is an on an ironic note that I served in the Louisiana Army National Guard 120 years to the day, probably in the same "camp" as did G. H. Dennis. In a sense, I walked in his shadow and never knew it at the time. I served with the Louisiana Army National Guard for four years, three of them on Active Duty. That is history seemingly repeating itself.
