What happened to these two is a mystery. They do not appear on the list of paroled prisoners from Vicksburg nor burial in Vicksburg. A good read on the doings of this regiment along with their other East Tennessee regiments at Vicksburg is found in the late William D. Taylor's "A Fit Representation of Pandemonium, East Tennessee Confederate Soldiers in the Campaign for Vicksburg," Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 2008

This regiment was first known as the 79th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, but was officially designated the 60th Tennessee Infantry Regiment by the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office. It was organized into a regiment at Haynesville, from 11 companies which had been enrolled in August, and September. When mustered into Confederate service, the mustering authorities would only accept 10 companies for the regiment, and Company "L" apparently disbanded, as no further record of it has been found.
