Thank you for the link and the information. The linked page is a doosey to read but I did get through it, even if my eyes did cross a couple of times. Guess its the hour :) It does list Richard and his two enlistments. I will study it further in the morning and see if I can find any further connections within the "Stark(es)listings.

I did not know that the 16th and 12th were at times one and the same. I confess I was a horrible history student. My knowledge of the Civil War comes from what I learn in my family research as well as the generous help of people like you who are willing to share their time and knowledge.

I do so appreciate your help and suggestions and the information you shared with me. It does help me understand my great grandfather, his life and times in the Civil War.

Thank you again for helping me.
