1860 GCC HH#856, Co. K, 51st VA, Enl. on 6/24/61 at Independence. Absent sick
11/10/62 thru last muster roll on 11/8/63. Taken POW at Winchester, VA on 9/19/64,
sent to Point Lookout, MD exchanged at Aiken's Landing, VA on 3/15/65."

Elizabeth (Betty) Hall and William (Billy) Cole had the following children:
