My g-g-grandfather, Elisha Whatley, son of Elisha Whatley, Sr., was born a few months after his father's death in 1838. He married Louisa Maria Frazier.

Not sure of my relation to Pvt. Wm Leavenworth. I know he was KIA at the Battle of Shiloh on Apr 6 1862. I would like to know more of his Civil War experience and perhaps use this as a living history program.
