John, I've checked the Confederate Roster to see if I could find William T. Avery. There was one soldier with this name. However, I don't see anything showing he was from Kentucky. I've also checked the data on ancestry.com and find the same soldier, with just a bit more information, but still nothing about Kentucky. Confederate Roster Avery, William T. - 4th Confederate Infantry - Lt. Col. Ancestry.com Cd Avery, William - Confederate Rank In: Lieutenant Colonel Rank Out: Lieutenant Colonel Co F 4th Confederate Infantry (1st Regiment Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi Infantry) NARA Box 000818, Roll 0001, Record 00002432 There were also other men named William Avery on both lists, but none were from Kentucky. I wish I could have found more for you, but unfortunately, this is all I can find. Hope it might be of some help. Edward
