Gary -

Thanks for the kind comments. The rosters are probably not perfect in every case, but neither are the records they came from. In particular the DOW listings (Died of Wounds) were all provided by descendants - not one was noted in the official records. This was a great shortcoming of 19th century military recordkeeping.

We in Tyler County were without power for several weeks - some folks still don't have it. I would have responded quicker, but was surrounded by horizontal white oak trees.
