That was awesome! Thank you! You know, one of my great-great-great?-grandfathers fought for the Confederacy and died in the war. Another one of my great-great-great-grandfathers fought for the Union. I guess that was common in Kentucky.

My dad was born in 1886, my paternal grandfather was born in 1841 and he fought with Forrest until the end came.

Same thing happened in my family, except it was two brothers. My GGG Grandfather fought for the Confederacy, and his brother fought for the Union. They never met on the field, and both survived the war.
