Company G
Rank unknown
Francis Marion Wisdom was born in 1818 in Hardin County, Tennessee.
He would have been 42 years of age in 1861, so I don't know if he served in the Confederate Mililtary. He lived in Hickman County (possibly Centerville, TN) at the beginning of the Civil War.
I have found the name of Francis M. Wisdom on the roster of the 54th Tennessee Infantry, Company G and also the 55th Tennessee Infantry, but do not know if this is the Francis
Marion Wisdom that I am researching.
