Phillip Dimmitt (1801-41) is my 2nd Cousin 6 times removed. I stumbled across this bit of info about two months ago in my family researching. I think the cousin times removed is the number of generations back, from me, to a common ancestor? James, Napoleon, and Alamo were his sons.
I know Napoleon Dimmitt died from his wounds at Gaines Mill...James was wounded at Gaines Mill and maybe Sharpsburg....but I dont' know if he returned to service. Alamo seems to have been the lucky one from the information I have so far and not been wounded. I came across a book on google called, "Hoods Brigade, Its Battles, Its Campaigns and Accomplishments." It was written in 1910. I downloaded it yesterday and hoping to get time to start looking through it.
