Hello George,
Thanks again for the excellent info regarding my gg-uncle, John F. Burk. It would appear that he survived his hospital stay in Montgomery and rejoined his unit by Jan/Feb of 1863. Since he is present and accounted for until Aug 31, 1863, can you offer any ideas why his unit was in Jonesborough, GA in that time frame? Additionally, did the 1st Conf. Inf. fight at Chickamauga? The reason I find this so intriguing is that Chickamauga is 6-7 miles from his home in Cenchat, GA. Finally, the inquiry into a pension from 1916....John never married and his parents were long dead. This is really interesting.
Once again I appreciate any info or theories regarding his activities.
