You can look up the information on just about any Civil War soldier at the National Park Service "Soldiers and Sailors" database: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I found potential matches for all of your names below. Giles McBride might have had another first name like Frank, though. (Search on last name McBride, 9 on unit, and TN on state.) FYI... Joe D.
