As an afterthought, you may already know this but it occurred to me to mention that Lt. Col. McWaters pocket watch, which he was wearing on the evening of Jan. 14, 1862 at Cornay's Bridge, is contained in the collection at Confederate Memorial Hall (Camp Street in New Orleans). It has a large caliber bullet hole through its middle and I believe was given to the museum by Col. W. G. Vincent.
