Military Service of Presley and Allied Family members for
the American Revolution and War Between States.
The
Family military connections from NC , TN, SC, MS, AL, MO, LA at
this time include Presley, Hood, and the Warren men from MS only.The
following list of surnames on the Presley side is for family who
served for the CSA during the War Between States.
These lists are compiled from the sources of the National Park
Service Soldiers and Sailors System and are the most accurate
and up-to-date listings of those who served.
The
bulk of service for the Presleys came out of North Carolina while
the bulk of service for the Hood family came out of NC, MS, and
AL. More to come on the fate of the brave Mississippians who fought
and died at Gettysburg and the travesty at Sachs Bridge where
three Mississippians from Barksdale's brigade were hung and to
this day their name unknown. Their spirits linger still which
has caused the bridge to be listed as one of the most haunted
spots in Gettysburg, itself, one of the 10 most haunted places
in the nation.
NOTE: The Revolutionary
War lists are still under construction at this time.
