Hello Jim and Tom, I am following Y'alls text with great interest. My Confederate Ancestor Great Granddaddy John C Hutchinson enlisted March 7, 1862 at Clarksville, TX. He enlisted in Company F 1st Texas Legion 27th Cavalry. John C daddy was Nelson B Hutchinson that was also a early member of the Concord Church. Y'all keep on talking. Very interesting.
