(Mrs/Ms.?)Franklin was married at the time but not to Reynolds.She was the wife of a business associate.

Reynolds was similar to the Eastern brigadier, William G. Lewis, in that he rose to the Brigadier star due to his previous Colonel and senior officer of thebrigade (Colonel Robert W. Harper) having been wounded at Chickamauga (Harper is rather enigmatic, as I can find absolutely little if any information on the man). He and his brigade gave their all in the Atlanta Campaign, being involved in the Battle of Buzzards Roost, Peachtree Creek, and Ezra Church (suffering heavy losses at the latter two, as well as at Franklin). At Bentonville, his small brigade, numbering 150 men, fought in the March 19th assault, losing 41 men; among their loss was Reynolds, who lost a leg and would not command his men in the field again.
Surprised he wasn't promoted until March 5th,1864. Had remembered reading earlier it being almost immediately after Chickamauga.
Apparently, Reynolds' published diaries are available on Google Play Books for a little under $16. Debating if I should purchase it.
