Flags found...

Ok, this is what I discovered. The Fourth Ohio did not capture the 22nd Va Battn or 55th Va.

I believed the 7th New Jersey captured the 2nd NC Infantry flag. The 5th New Jersey captured the 22nd Va Battn, 55th Va and the recapture of the 123rd New York's flag.

So, I needed proof/source. So I got lucky and found it.

Check on numbers, "19" and "20" and "139" (Thus, proof the 7th NJ captured the 2nd NC Flag.) Now what is interesting that they label "Two" 2nd NC Flags (Stars and Bars) and (ANV 13 Stars 46.5 by 47.3, CN Number 140) (Donated in 1963). (The Unknown CSA Flag at Chancellorsville).

I believe, the "Unknown" CSA flag at Chancellorsville is the 2nd NC Inf flag. The Stars and Bars, 4th NC Inf.

The 7th New Jersey did not capture two flags from the 2nd NC. It is known they captured the 4th NC, thus the unknown flag belongs to the 2nd NC.

Well everyone, please let me know what you think.

Have a good night,
