Well, hot doggy!

According to the wife of William M. Rockwood (and those signing her pension applications), he WAS CSA.

I have copies of Virginia Rockwood's applications of 1916 and 1924 for widow's pensions. In it, she states her husband William Rockwood (married 7 Jun 1860, Vicksburg) enlisted 31 May 1861 in the Volunteer Southrons, Co. A.

He served with Col. Peter Starkes and Col. D. N. Moody.

He served four years, until the end of the war. He was discharged at surrender.

She has not remarried and lives with her son. (Census shows this, too.)

Thanks to Alan and everyone who took up the sword on this one. We couldn't let his CSA service be lost!
