@Bert Higginbotha I recommend this book if you haven't already read it. It was wrote in 1868 I believe. And goes into detail about a lot of the orphans. I found write ups of my grandfather and your grandfather, Seth Elmore.
There's also an account of a federal officer riding to a part of the federal line that took heavy losses. After the bloody battle of Shiloh.
''The barren county boys fought us at this part of the line''.
Here's a link to the book to read online for free:
