O.D. and all: I assume you are referring to Adelbert's father, Roan L. Barrentine, when you write about the C.S.A. military service below. You noted that he was wounded at Murfreesboro, Tennessee and was sent home to recover from his wounds. My g-g grandfather, Andrew Jackson Lawrence (from Attala Co., MS) served in Company G, 30 Mississippi Regiment. He also fought at the Battle of Stones River at Murfreesboro, TN (31 Dec 1862 - 3 Jan 1863). He died in battle on 1 Jan 1863 and was buried on the battlefield. I live about 25 miles from Murfreesboro, and have wanted for a long time to go to the National Cemetery there and visit the graves of all those who died in that tragic battle. They have a walking tour of the park, but I don't think I'd be able to make it the whole way around. I tire out too easily with this heart problem. Maybe when I get a Jazzy motor chair I can keep up with the walkers.... ha. I'm gonna put racing stripes on it, a glass muffler, and super-charged motor so I can leave everyone in the dust...... ha. -----Original Message----- 35th Mississippi Regiment, Company-K.
