My GG Grandfather Thomas L. Morgan was at the Battle of Ocean Pond/Olustee, who served in the 10th Florida Infantry Regiment. He was wounded and his pension application states that his wounds at Olustee contributed to his early death. Also, my GG Uncle Augustus Bell of the 10th Florida Regiment Company F was also at the Battle of Ocean Pond.
