Beginning to be a reference for the 33rd. They have his gravestone photo, when he mustered in (jives with history of regiment) and when he mustered out. He left while they were occupying Atlanta. I suspect he left early due to his wife's illness. She died in 1865.

Company E
William Milton Estes - Private
William Estes is my great-great-grandfather. He enlisted at Seymour, Indiana as a volunteer substitute for a man named Grenor (spelling?) Bishop. William said he was 18 when in fact he had just turned 17. He served in Sherman's Army in the 33rd Indiana Infantry Company E from 1864/10/13 to 1865/07/21. Paperwork describes him as being 5'10" light complexion, gray eyes and brown hair. His brother Huston Taylor Estes joined him also as a substitute and paperwork indicates he was 19 when in fact he would have been only 16. After the war, he returned to his home in Brownstown Indiana and eventually moved to Kansas, Illinois and then Broken Arrow, Oklahoma where he died in 1925. I have no photographs of William. Perhaps someone has a group photo of this company regiment?
