Initially my research was for my great grandfathers but it was obvious there were relatives of the age to likely have served. Many of the men in a county were assigned to the same companies and went marching off to war together leaving spouses, children and older persons to carry the load. The brothers of great grandparents (my great-great uncles) and sons of brothers of the great grandparents (my first cousins, twice removed) are direct ancestors. Brother-in-laws are not 'blood' kin but would have been close family relatives.
Rufus Morgan(CSA): two brothers and one brother-in-law(CSA).
John Lackey(CSA): two brothers, a brother-in-law and two sons of a brother(CSA).
John Lackey's second wife, Rebecca Leech, my great grandmother: brother-in-law(CSA), brother-in-law(USA) and two sons of a brother (USA).
Thomas Hutchison(CSA): brother(CSA)
Thomas Hutchison's wife, Martha McLeary: brother (CSA Civil War, USA Spanish-American War)
James Roth(USA): I do not know of siblings of James or his wife Matilda Inu.
