One last thing, if you do this kind of research regularly, for the commanders of Confederate regiments/battalions, you might want to consider Bruce Allardice's new book, "Confederate Colonels; A Biographical Register". Here is the info for P. F. Liddell from his book.

You or others can order this book from the link at the top-left of this page or I have four (4) or five (5) copies, signed by the author. Sorry for the sales pitch, but it is an outstanding book and Bruce is a real supporter of these message boards.
