David: I have access to a lot of Confederate records and would be happy to help with the resources I have got. As for the Federal records, I do not have any records for them. If I can be of service, please let me know. Respectfully, Jason Goodrich, Commander Col. George H.

You might find a few people that fought in two or three of these 4 units? Can many of those Pruitt tales be unraveled to get at the truth, such as the Brewer tale below? Would be interesting?
