Perhaps you've not seen John W. Inzer's book on that command; he was captured and went to prison-of-war camp with many other members of the regiment. Here's the citation: Inzer, John Washington. The Diary of a Confederate Soldier: John Washington Inzer, 1834-1928. Edited by Mattie Lou Teague Crow (Huntsville : Strode Publishers, 1977) If we knew the soldier's name, Company letter, and his residence im 1860, we might be able to put together some facts abut him.
