My Mother [who passed away in 1976] told me years before that her grandfather had fought for the Confederacy during the civil war, I was wondering if anyone would have any information to share. His name is George Washington Nichols and lived/died in Grundy Co MO. While going through old pictures recently I found a note attached to his picture that stated he was a Civil War Veteran and was a Captain in the Confederate Army. Just wondering how to verify this.
