I think you are very right. I wasn't paying attention to the dates.
That makes the family story of him being captured and released at Nashville true. He was on his way home and came upon a young girl handing out apples to the soldiers as they came by on the road. He not only took one of her apples, but married her and took her home.
Good ending to the war.
I really do appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the Civil War and the time to answer my questions.
Thanks, again.
