Hi, I'm now retired and have some time to search. Years ago, my dad, William Heath, had told me on a couple of occasions that his two great uncles had served "directly with General Lee." The Virginia 1st or 39th appear to be the closest clues I have yet. Their names were William Ward, and James Ward, and were my grandmother's uncles.
I'm not sure where to search now, and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you,
Steve Heath
