Was his name Jemison H. Moore?

If so he was a captain in the Officers of Company H (Chickasaw Guards), and was killed at Gettysburg on July 3rd (other records show July 4th). In the Eleventh Mississippi Infantry.

That's the one! My mom is trying to figure out what the tombstone says for Father's Day.

That’s a pretty great find by you. One of my ancestors was captured at Vicksburg around the same time. 1st Lieutenant Cooper Co. B, 27th Louisiana regiment.

We still have his parole papers.
