It's so interesting to have an ancestor who fought in the Civil War and to follow him in different battles. My ancestor was James Harvey Stephenson who joined the Confederacy in Giles County,TN. In his pension,he claimed he joined Company K., First Tennessee Cavalry Regiment. The First Tennessee Cavalry later became the 6th Tennessee Cavalry and at the end of the war was called Col. James T. Wheeler's 1st Tennessee Cavalry. At Chickamauga,on the first day the 6th Tennessee fought under Col.Wheeler and on the second day the 6th Tennessee Cavalry was with Nathan Bedford Forrest.
