I have been searching for a Harry S Sullivan for several years, there was a letter from a distant cousin about harry being shot thru the head while on picket duty before the battle of Atlanta. The date was aug 25th, 1864. The article says this, Harry S Sullivan my dear friend and brother was killed before the battle of Atlanta on august 24th 1864 while on picket duty, shot through the head. he died instantly. These old letters are gone but articles from a news paper that I have from 1929 discuss a display at the Paris Ky library. I donated some items to the perryville Ky museum several years ago that are original from that time period. There was some of his hair that was braided and enclosed in a small case with some writing on it that talks about his death, these items, hair for one was sent to Charlotte H Robinson from a Miss Mollie C Williamson from south carolina, I believe that her brother was in the war with Harry Sullivan. I am just trying to close some loop holes in my family's background.
I would appreciate any help in locating info on this person. It seems as it would have to be at the end of the Atlanta battle as the date seems to indicate that time frame.
Thanks, Robert W Fister
