 Have several ancestors on my mother's side, thru her mother. An gg uncle was killed at Petersburg. He was shot in the knee and died a few days later in a Richmond hospital. gg Grandfather went thru the war with nary a scratch. They were enlisted men.
I have another gg uncle who was a lt.in K of the 4th Alabama. He fought thruout the war and returned to south Alabama.
I have an uncle whose grandfather was quite notorious however.. amongs a LOT of other things, he was the officer who tendered Gen. Lee's request for a cease fire to Gen Grant's Hd'qtrs. He also carried a flag of truce at Appomattox.
