Joseph Chappell Hutcheson - Captain
Joseph reenlisted in Oct 1864 in the 14th. He was elected LT & by his account was elevated to Captain after the Battle of Dinwiddie Court House. There is no known transcribed verification of this elevation in rank which is probably due to the collapse of the Richmond Gov. just days after the above mentioned battle.

William survived the war, and I have copies of his widow's application for a pension after his death in 1910. It lists him as a Private in Company K, which is consistent with the company being formed mostly from Halifax County VA (His home) and an application for a headstone for his unmarked grave later.
