I had some time this evening to play around on Google.com:
Three names . . . One an African American, go figure . . .
Hope this helps.
Capt. Thomas Edward King
(1829-1863)
Married Marie Clemons. They lived at Bulloch Hall in Roswell, GA. He enlisted in the Confederate Army at the beginning of the Civil War and was seriously wounded at the first battle of Manassas. He was a member of the staff of Brig. General Preston Smith with whom he was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga. The magazine, Southern Bivouac (1887) mentions his death: "Thomas was true, noble, and unselfish - when wounded and dying, he insisted that the friends who were moving him out of the way of shells and balls, should not go farther, but lay him under a tree nearby and then return to the fight. He knew that he had done his duty and that God was with him - the testimony of a friend of him and his."
Captain Thomas King lost a foot at the First Battle of Manassas in July, 1861, and was then killed as a volunteer member of Preston Smith's staff at Chickamauga on the evening of September 19, 1863.
"The first battle of Bull Run was fought July 21, 1861. My cousin. Captain Thomas Edward King, of Georgia, having been severely wounded, I went to
Richmond to look after him, leaving Nashville on the 1st of August After he had sufficiently recovered to return to his home, I joined my regiment at Valley Mountain on the 23rd of August."
