Re: 17th Battalion Tenn Cavalry (Sanders)
I am doing some research on an entirely different set of people, among them is Edward J. Sanders. The E.J. Sanders I am looking into was a veteran of the Mexican American war after which he was involved with William Walker's army in Nicaragua in 1856-57. He married the step daughter of a fellow officer named Elizabeth Hathaway in 1857, and they had 2 children. They were divorced in 1862, and he went off to join the Confederacy. Do you know what became of Edward J. Sanders after the war? Thanks. Joe K.
