I covet your help. I am looking for William Elkins (1801 - 1863) whose son George Elkins (1842 - 1863) was in Ashby's Cavalry. William was married to Unicy Selvidge Elkins (1807 - 1884). There is no record of William's death (or birth, he died intestate). Nor of his first wife Elizabeth Dickey Elkins. All of that to say that my theory is that he dead in 1863 - he lived in the Loudon County area. I note his son George died in 1863. I am wondering if things were just so devestating in his area that he got involved in the battle (as a property owner) and was killed. Would you have any knowledge or listing of civilion casualties? Or any clues for me on how to find him? Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated!
