Re: More missing Camp Chase letters located

Dennis,

Here is a family that I believe is from the same area with the Bauldwyn spelling. Not saying this is your man, but it could be a relative. https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/elisha-b-bauldwyn-24-7bvdzr

As you well know when it comes to spelling of names, the Confederates and most other people spelled something the way they heard. My own name evolved from "Pervis"(as spelled in my Grandfathers CSR) to "Purvis" sometime after the formation of Purvis Mississippi. On the other hand, I have heard, there is a Pervis, Texas formed by the same "Purvis" family. The same goes for my "Pitman"- "Pittman" line.

Using the CWSS I only find one man from Mississippi with the spelling of Bauldwyn, but he was only a Private----
