Hi Hugh,

Thank you very much for your response. I put Joe Powell aside for a little while, but I feel it is time to start picking away again at the mystery that is my 4th great grandfather.

You suggested getting the service record for "J. Powell" of the Louisiana Confederate Reserve Corps. Would information such as this on a state militia regiment be in the National Archives or in the Louisiana State Archives? Other relatives were involved in 2 St. Helena State Regiments, and I have been unsure of where to look for their records as well.

Finally, do you know of any books or other resources for the Louisiana General Hospital in Richmond? I will attempt to track down the "little Testament (I will try the Camp Moore Museum, as they also have a sampler sewn during the War by Joseph's wife hanging in the display room).

If you send me your email address, I will forward the daughter's narrative to you. Maybe I am overlooking something crucial.

Thank you,
Craig
