I have no idea why the War Department Clerks, ca 1900, cataloged the roster as they did. Following are the five Nelsons listed. Erastus F. could very well
be B. F. Nelson.

......
B. F. Nelson, 1st Sergeant, Company D, 22nd Alabama Infantry, recipient of Medal of Honor, Battle of Murfreesboro, his file of 10 cards contains a number of hand written documents too faint to read on-line
