Phil , I found the group I will be falling in with they are Company A 7th Tennessee Infantry in the 10th Battalion ANV 1st Division http://www.10thbattalion.org/memberunits.php
In fact in the Photo of the 7th there are a few members of my unit in it.. I guess the photo was taken at the 140th Gettysburg
I will look for the Fulton Book.. Here is the info I have on my relatives in the 5th alabama Battalion

Steven, Company A....that is a **** fine 7th...I've wrote to Captain Grahe a few months back about joining. Truth is I've never joined anyone on a regular basis for a long time. He is a nice man.
Welcome aboard to the best Civil War board around. Look forward to seeing you join in on the fun.
Sincerely,
