Wow! Thank you so much. I have received a reply from Jim as well. Both of you have revealed new and interesting data to me and I'm so excited to have received your help. I'm sad to learned he died during service. You are saying you think he died of illness in Nov/Dec 1862. Can you please tell me how you came to that conclusion? If he did die at that time, his burial would most likely be in MS? Any suggestion of how I might proceed to find his grave?

Again, my thanks and appreciation for all the help!
Jackie
