This is really amazing. I didn't think about it until later, but he had Dowell and Shacklett relatives living in the Grayson Co. area, but their wasn't any family info regarding his military company or regiment. Do you know of an address or site to start the process for military records for Gideon?
Thank you for your help. It's incredible how much you've helped me find about what became of my 3rd great uncle!
