Company L

Sergeant

My great grandfather, John Lemon Moore born 15 Nov 1809 in Carter Co TN, was a commissary Sergeant in the 2nd Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Calvary Co 'L'. His son William D. Moore born 17 Jul 1843 in Blount Co TN was a Private then Corporal. His son, George Washington Moore born 01 Mar 1847 in Blount Co TN was a Private. They were in the same company as their father. Both sons were killed probably in Nov 1864. No record of where or when or burial site. John L. and William D. both enlisted at Maryville, Blount Co TN on 08 Sep 1863. George W. possibly in Jun 1864, replacing his father, who later returned to duty. Would like any information on the sons. And the parents of John L. Moore if it is listed in their files. Thank you Russell E. Cable
