Finally acquired a pdf of a compilation geneology of my line that I had given up hope on ever seeing again. I once had a copy but it was lost.

Here's a page from it. From a letter home written by my third great grandfather from a confederate army camp in August of 1863.



He would die 20 Dec 1863 from wounds received at Missionary Ridge in November.

Also was reminded that my first cousin gg grands were actually double first.

Great for you, Warrior! Thanks for sharing that.

It is really nice to have family history. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting!

That's pretty cool. I sometimes think about how cool it would be to have a conversation with ancestors.

Another interesting is his name, Malcolm. He was named for his grandfather Malcolm. His grandson would be named Malcolm and his grandson likewise would be Malcolm and were I to have had a son I would have named him Malcolm.
