Any info on my great-great-great grandfather or his service would be greatly appreciated. All I know is that he took a confederate minie ball in the hip near or at Saltville in Oct. 1864, was 15 years old, I believe his father served in the 27th KY inf. and died in Jan. of 1863.

I found my great great grandfather's grave. He has a stone beside his grave that has his name and 37th Kentucky Infantry company F on it. His name was James Whitlock.
