Re: Re-Organization in May 1862

Here is what I think happened at the reorganization of the 7th.

COLl Shaver did not stand for re-election. Perhaps because of his wound at Shiloh, perhaps becuse of his relationship with Hindman?
LTC John Dean is Killed leading the regiment at Shiloh, (Shaver was Brigade Commander)
MAJ James T. Martin assumes command following Dean's death.
LT D.A. Gillespie is elected Colonel when the Regiment is Reorganized on 14 May 1862 at Corinth
COL Gillespie is dies 26 October 1863 at (Perhaps he was wounded at Chickamauga?)

Who commanded after Gillespie? I know a CPT J.T. Robinson was incommand of the 6th/7th at Franklin.
