I cant thank you enough. It looks like the 29th went all over Tenn and Carolina. i guess they were buried where they fell. Let me know when/if you want the information for the Kirks from North Carolina. The matriarch was Margaret, father Davidson Kirk, with son James W. Kirk born 1834. Davidson has a George Kirk in his lineage, born 1794. this could be a tie in. i am speculating. many thanks,
