    15th for your works! I was excited to find your site as I wanted to glean more info on my GGF Mir Edward Spear Jr..... 1st Lt.14th OVLA, Cpt. 15th OVLA, and Mir. Paymaster for Tennessee Vol Army. Sadly I do not see his units listed here. We do have a plethora of information, artifacts, and diaries but I am always searching for more. Warm regards
