i was/am lucky. as a result of doing research to join SCV on my CSA ancestor, PVT William James (Little Thunder) Freeman late of the 4th MO Partisan Rangers, i found a whole pile of info on my father's family.
BTW, i'm told his REALname more correctly translates to "thunder that is almost too far away for ears to hear"====>no wonder he chose to call himself Little Thunder! i would have TOO!
