What appears to be the same woman, in different newspaper article. This one is May 1, 1862 from the Nashville Dispatch.
"Among the wounded soldiers who arrived at St. Louis on the 18th inst., on the steamer Empress, was a woman who had followed her husband to the war, and received a gunshot wound in the battle of Pittsburg Landing. On the way up the Mississippi, she gave birth to a fine, healthy female child, which was named Empress. Her husband was killed in the battle."
