NOTE from Gary Morgan:  Cornelius is not listed among the wounded, but according to his son, my grandfather Hugh, he suffered a bayonet wound while serving as color bearer for company E and endured an open wound for the rest of his life. For verification, note that he received a disability pension from the government for wounds in the civil war. I have copies of his pension papers, as well as other written material about him.
