We really need to place the hard copy files down in front of us to sort all the information out.
George Martin
I recommend you obtain copies of your men as their files are somewhat complicated as noted below.
You may procure his service records files at: http://history-sites.com/research/index.html
Note, you need to point out that outside of their regimental files, the majority of files are filed under Microform M331 Compiled Service Records of Confederate General and Staff Officer, etc. . .
