Nel, Another source for my Frank Hatcher's service in the Civil War...also another documentation (admittedly a secondary source) of his birth in 1830 as he is listed as 34 years in 1864. I submitted this as a suggestion on Frank's page on rootsweb but after I did a page popped up with just one word on it....sorry!, yes with the exclamation mark. Interesting. So, I'm not sure if you will receive the suggestion or not so I am also posting it here.
