Hello Shelly, We were searching through the records of the 50th TN Infantry, CSA, on microfilm. These are microfilms of the unit records of the 50th at the national archives. I will put this back in our Archives Folder and look through the records of the 50th again to make a list of all the DAVIS family members that belonged to that unit. I'll also check to be sure there are no records out of alphabetical sequence on the microfilm, which could have caused me to miss Henry's records. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!
