I think I have a problem with my ancestor because of the various spellings of his surname and listed in two different TN Confederate regiments.
I have him as:
John R. W. Lanom
11th Calvary, Regiment TN, B Co. - Private
Alternate name: John R. W. Lannon
Film # M231 roll 25
Then I have him as:
J. R. W. Lanum in the 21 (Carter's) TN Calvary
21st Regiment, TN Cavaley
Company A - Private
Alternate name: John R. W. Lannom
Fil # M231 roll 25
Can someone explain, please? Which is correct?
Carole Lannom
