| Lamkin's Nelson Artillery/Rives Battery by Wm. Cullen Sherwood It lists information on those who served in both (Civil War). I would be willing to look up and provide reference from this book to those wanting information. I will try to honor all requests in a relatively timely manner. Make sure Nelson County is in the subject line, or it might be deleted. |
