What is neat is that in his service and widow's pension record as a Lt. in AR infantry, it is stated that he was shot at almost the same time as General Johnston 100 feet to the east of his location.
Wow that is unbelievable. My ancestor was with the 60Th, Virginia. He fought mostly in Southwest Virginia. His brother, was with the StoneWall Brigade, they had a cousin who sided on Union. On my Mom’s side my ancestor and his brother’s all fought with General Morgan
