[AndyHall]

Confederate?

Don't ever ask that, @bdtex . If they are, he'll say so. If not, there's no reason to embarrass him.

 

[DixieRifles]

Andy!
You go to Time Out.

 

[7th Texas Mounted Rifles]

Don't ever ask that, @bdtex . If they are, he'll say so. If not, there's no reason to embarrass him.

Excellent twist on a classic J. Gunther line!

John Shettles regiment is unknown to me but I know he served because he died at Gettysburg in Pickett's charge.

 

[LoriAnn]

All Confederate.

With all those ancestors, someone had to have married a Yankee somewhere along the line.

Or courted a Yankee.

Or considered courting a Yankee.

Or smiled at a Yankee.

There have to be Yankee cooties somewhere.

(Just teasin'.)

 

[lelliott19]

Could this be your John Shettle? Or was your guy from Alabama or Mississippi?

Shettle, John - Enlisted in Co B, 63rd Virginia Infantry on April 5, 1862 at Abbington, VA. ?

He is the only John Shettle or Shettles showing up when I search.

There's a John Shuttles Co A, 13th Georgia Infantry, transferred to the Navy.

My John Shettles was from Mississippi but this is good info though thanks.
