thank you once again. this is a long shot, considering his age b. 1 1852 in rob co nc. living in horry co during war. his name alexander william chavis. i have no other info on him, but feel that maybe his dad was in the war. i have found naomi cooper hatcher chavis family my great etc grandmother, but have hit a brick wall on alexander, i guess i need to start putting out requests on the horry list. thanks so much. diane
