Mr. Pitts,
Did Hooker command any troops in or around East Tn. or Western N.C? I had never heard the phrase "Western Division of the NC reg" used before. This obit was for Henry Ottingers daughter and possibly a grandchild relaying only on "hand me down memories" for info for the obit. My Henry Ottinger was a grandson of John Ottinger who served in the Revolutinary war from Pa. and (Henry)was born in 1819 in Greene co. Tn. It was established on these post recently that Ottingers son-in-law, a Thomas Gorman served with the 29th Ga. Calvary. At any rate, many thanks. Jim
