Myrt's comment made me remember that I once saw a record that an A. Padgett fought for Poe's Reserve. My ancestor Ambrose Padgett (of Walton Co.) was in his early 40's during the War. Except for this possibility, I have found no record that he served. Does anyone know of another "A. Padgett" who might have been the one in Poe's Reserve? Duke Vickrey
