Re: 3 Davis brother & uncle in 1st Cav TN at Vicks

Thank you for the response! You have given me some good leads -- to look for Henry B. and Benjamin Davis after the war. The family account might have gotten the circumstances of William's death incorrect and perhaps he died at Baker's Creek instead of a battle on the Tenn-KY border. I appreciate the explanation of Co. C's involvement. I had hoped there would be a listing on a death roll somewhere in Mississippi records that I hadn't been able to locate.
