Yes Ken, J. W. Burkhead was my ggrand-dad. In his pension app. he stated that he was wounded at Shiloh. Minie ball in the right thigh, left him with a limp the rest of his life but with the leg still attached, could have been different with the medicine of that time.

Greg and I were in communication about J. W. a few years ago and I actually sent a copy of a tintype of him made shortly after the late "difficulty".
