Re: Thompson's Regiment Co C & Clarkson's Battalio

On a personal note. I had a similar problem a with a GGGrandfather of mine by the name of Alphonzo Burton Hutto. If you can believe two men having the same names. One in company "F" of the 9th South Carolina Inf. and the other in Company "K" of the 13th South Carolina Inf. Both had been captured during the War so both had prison files. One was 5 ft 8 in. The other was 6 ft 2 in.

I made the assumption that the gentleman in Company "F" of the 9th was my Grandfather because I found my mothers other Grandfather in that same company.

I was very proud of my research, but then I ran across the information about the second Alphonzo Burton Hutto in Company "K" of the 13th. his record showed he had been wounded at Gettysburg and captured sent to New York and exchanged. Returned to Unit and was wounded and captured at the Wilderness, sent to hospital in New York and exchanged again.

I was at a loss, which man was my mothers Grandfather between the two. Luckily she was 9 years old when he was buried and I asked her if she remembered anything about him. Her reply was that he was tall and had a crippled left arm, which his record showed he had received from artillery fragments at the Wilderness.

Turns out that both of the Alphonzo Burton Hutto were 1st Cousins.
