I have to say that is more than I expected. Do you object if I use your replies as a source reference? I know some of my heroes (Mississippi) received pensions while others did not. I never fully understood that. Thanks for shedding some light on that subject. Are you a member of the SCV? The reason I ask is if Edward O. Grigsby proves to be a former member of the 7th Miss., and he does not have a headstone, perhaps we could work together to remedy that oversight. I would also like to invite you to our 7th Miss. site so that you may see firsthand what we are doing. We are at: http://www.geocities.com/poboy1961/index.html George
