William J.) was killed at the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi in l862. A second (Pvt. John D....my grgrgrandfather) was wounded in l863 in Alabama and had his right leg amputated.  The third (Capt. Henry McGrady Morrison) served the entire 4 years and the worse thing that happened to him was getting captured at Hatchie Bridge in l862.
