All my life I have researched my family tree trying to tie members to the Confederate Army. All this time to no avail until recently. About 2 years ago I was messing with Ancestry and made a cool discovery. While timing my wife's family into mine I asked her if she had any confederates in her lineage. She had no clue, but got into her families old cedar chest and pulled out the family phot album. What I saw next simply amazed me. All my life I had tried to find any connection for my family and in 5 minutes she came up with an original photo from the reunion of Forrest Escort. There were two angles and and her photo is the one here that's broken and has the numbers above the men's heads. Her Great Great Great Grandfather was Claiborne Winchester Phelps (Could be Felps) Not sure that he rode with Forrest, was told he was a member of Turneys 1st TN Co.
Anyway I'm curious if there's several of these photos floating around that may have more info on their backs or if anyone knows which one is Mr. Phelps. Thank You in advance.
