Robert was wounded in action at Flat Creek Jan 26, 1864. Died of his wounds Feb 24, 1864, per Knoxville National Cemetary.

John served with his two sons, Charles and Solomon. The later enlisted later. Thompson's Regimental history indicates that Charles spent some time as a prisioner at ANdersonville - before it got bad. If you need info, I have the regimental history, a book by Thompson (the adjutant I believe).

James was my great-grandfather. He enlisted from Bradford in September 1862, and served until mustering out of the regiment at the end of the war. My uncle said that he was captured and escaped from Andersonville, but I find no evidence or record of that.

I am James Hervey's great-great grandson and have more info on him

Abner Norman is my Great Grandfather. He was wounded November 18, 1863 while defending Knoxville, TN. He was shot in the mouth. After recovering from his wounds he returned to duty. After the war, he became a preacher and was well respected by the community. He married my Great Grandmother Mary in 1900. She was almost sixteen years old. He was about seventy. Grandmother Nellie had fond memories of her father. He loved to sing and beautified his yard with flowers.

He was Company commander for Company H. Severly wounded at Utoy Creek near Atlanta. I have extensive information on his genealogy. But do not know his parents for certain.
