Re: Thomas J. Grissom
The best fit given your description would be Thomas B. Grissom, Co. "E", 1st North Carolina Artillery Regt. Having been a pilot in civilian life, he rather quickly transferred to the Confederate Navy. There are no Grissoms in the 1st North Carolina Infantry Regiment. A man named Thomas W. Grissom in the 1st North Carolina Cavalry died in Feb. 1862.
