she is correct from her perspective but as you say, there are worse forms of being nuts but this might well be a very interesting database. Spect you have cross checked your data with Tennessee questionnaires and pension records. I started with the former but it takes time. A lot of dross but some rare gems here and there. Confederate Veteran might have a few useful accounts. I wonder particularly about post-capture escapees and how commonplace that was--the key thing was to get off the box car before the Ohio River was crossed.
