Thank you, John. I have the CSRs of my folks, have seen the "First Hundred Years", and am going to track down Wofford's biography, though I have read excerpts from it, as well as his and Ruff's battle reports. The info you provided lists Uncle Frank's 1862 wound, and his capture. The first wound put him in hospital in Lynchburg for a couple of weeks. His second wound, May 8, 1864, occurred at Spotsylvania. A minie ball entered his left shoulder, broke the scapula, and ranged down and in, exiting near the spine in his lower back. He was at home recuperating in Roswell, when he was captured in July, 1864, by Sherman's men during the Atlanta Campaign. He was sent to Camp Douglas, and said in his pension application that the exposure he suffered there gave him rheumatism. He died in 1899 and is buried in a Baptist cemetery on Wade Green Road in Kennesaw. Uncle Alex died in 1906 and is buried in the Kennesaw City Cemetery. My GGF, Lemuel H. Boring, died at Seven Pines and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond. Francis named a son born after the war William T. Alex named a son William N. Stan
