Thank you for contacting the message board about your ancestor Thomas Whittom, Co. D 7th Miss. Jamie is correct; all we know is that he was wounded twice and captured. Any other information you find and would like to share with the board and the other descendants of the "Immortal Seventh" would be appreciated. By the way we are all late in the game so get going. Most of what we have found has taken us over 10 years to accumulate. Definitely visit the 7th Mississippi website and pass the word to your relatives. The best way to preserve their history is to constatnly share the story.
