6th Georgia Cavalry Company K

Question

Hi Wikitreers,

There seems to be possible conflation with this Henry Wilson Boss.

The fold3 record for the Henry Boss who served in Company K of the 6th Georgia Cavalry passed away at a later date and different cemetery it appears. 

The FindAGrave bio states he served in Company E in the 6th Georgia but I only can find a Henry Boss in the 39th Georgia Company E see https://www.fold3.com/memorial/662847723 

No Henry Boss found who served in a Company E in the 6th Georgia Cavalry only in the 39th Georgia as FindAGrave states

See FindAGrave https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81209604/henry_winfield-boss

And https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/16760062/henry_wilson-boss

And lastly https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/79920740/henry_wilson-boss

I’d like to have collaboration to untangle this veteran and get the correct man in this family group

Thank you

Note: This person is the 3rd Great grandfather of Country music star Toby Keith

Confederate soldiers seem to be very difficult to trace and connect

I believe this profile will need PPP as to prevent conflation

Answer 1

Hi Andrew, we'll have to add the US Civil War Project as Manager to place a PPP on the profile.  I'll put a request in.  Pam

The PPP has been added to the profile.

Thank you

Answer 2

I've started looking into Boss-333 to see what we can untangle. I'm going to guess right off that Boss Sr. was in the State Guard because of his age at the time of the Civil War and his son was in the Confederate Army. I'm looking now and comparing histories.

It should be interesting. Thank you
