No, Nash county is not where they were from. It would be either Union Co where they were born, Mecklenburg next county or Lincoln Co where their father moved his family before he left for the war. They settled in Attala, Madison, Leake counties in MS. Uncanny that there are so many with same names....John Newton was age 15 when he left here, JD, James Dorsey (Doss) Williamson was 18. Their mother refused to allow them to join, her husband and older sons had already enlisted.
Sorry I don't know anymore. Thank you for your kindnes. ZHC
