Two GGGrandfathers AL 5th Reg and 59th

Amazing that my maternal and paternal GGG were both in the trenches at Petersburg. One captured there and one during the movement to Appomattox then both paroled from Point Lookout, MD within a week of each other..... Never had any idea their lives would link 100 years later but I find it fascinating....
