Thank you for that information. I knew he wasn't in the War at Vicksburg because of the unit he served in. I was making an in general statement due to the fact that my great great grandfather was in the War at Vicksburg and he was listed as a deserter. I have read a lot of men deserted after a major battle. A traumatic experience for sure!
I will put your information into my genealogy file under Jesse's family. Thanks again.
