Their daughter, Evaline married William MCKENZIE, son of John

I am developing a regimental history of my
ggrandfather's,
James Madison Martin, regiment, the 43rd Tennessee Infantry, CSA, intend to
publish which will include a complete roster, by individual companies,
including
as much pertinent biographical information possible on each of the
soldiers. He
had three brothers in Co. K including Issac Martin who died at Vicksburg. I
have
the national archives microfilm rolls of the regiments service records,
Official
Records of the War,
Tennesseans in the Civil War, and most of the basic reference works .
Since
most official confederate army records did not survive, I am looking for
letters, diaries, momentos, photos, papers, histories, etc., Any help you
can
provide would be greatly appreciated. A memorial ceremony will be conducted
on
Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, 1998 (I believe) at the Vicksburg,
Miss.
City Cemetery dedicating newly placed tomb stones for Confederate
soldiers,
including 31 of those from the 43rd Tenn.
