Loved reading your posts! I am fairly new to all this research - can you advise me where to go for info? I am seeking info on a Gideon H. Wright to see if he is the missing son of James William Wright and Lucinda Reed, Gibson County, TN. I found a Gideon H. Wright (age 21) in Bradford's Battalion, Company C who enlisted Dec 19, 1863. Family lore says Gideon disappeared from home and was believed to have enlisted and was never heard from again. If he joined the Union forces, this may be part of the reason when it appears the family was mostly for the south. The regimental roster page I have showing Gideon's name, rank, etc does not give any info on hometown, family members, etc. No hints! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
