Michael Watford was my great-great grandfather. He was born in 1840, died 1914. According to other sources, he was wounded at Petersburg. It also appears that he was not present at Lee's surrender at Appomattox, as most of this regiment was said to have been captured by Custer's cavalry three days earlier.
