WPJ was NOT at the Battle of Shiloh! Major 2nd KY cav. July '61. August '61 Major 3rd KY Inf. BUT, Oct. '61 Lt. Col. 1st KY; sent to Virginia. In VA became very ill, this was Jan. 1862; pneumonia and typhoid! Was in Richmond, Marietta GA and Wytheville VA. until I place him in Corinth April 10,1862 or as late as April 17? April 19th ordered to report to Richmond VA as ADC to Pres. Jeff Davis. Captured with the Davises May 10th 1865. Had $1500 in CS gold taken from him by 4th Mich. Cav. as well as his "father's trappings" used at Shiloh. Hope this helps, God love ya, BF
