Jim,

Well, we have the "who," but without the "where" and the "when" I would not recommend you buy aluminum siding from the person who told you about this one. Seriously, Jim, where did all this bushwhacking take place and when during the war did it happen? I have seen Wilsons as guerrillas in Missouri during the war, but I don't recall an Eli. Perhaps I know him by another name. Can you tell us more? Incidentally, "Wesley" was a very common middle name for men of the Civil War period because of the John Wesley important in the Methodist denomination in America.
