This volume, by Samuel P. Bates, needs to be handled with care. The man who wrote the history of the 46th Vols. told me that "Bates's roll is notoriously inaccurate. It was my estimation that about 10% of the entries regarding the 46th are either misspelled, misstated, or involve men who are mistakenly listed or omitted!" The same could be true for any other unit. The mistakes are not necessarily the fault of Bates. Almost all of my own Pa. Vol. ancestor's relatives were listed as illiterate on the census, and they weren't unique. Cheers, Ron Kyser -----Original Message----- From: Whitney, James E, II, Subject: [WHITNEY-L] RE: Duane L.
