John Henry Dettor was my great great grandfather's (William Fisk Dettor) brother.I have a letter that was written to the Times dispatch from a gentleman years ago that served with him in the military to inform him of a correction that should be made to his rank that was listed as Capt. but should have been listed as Major since he was promoted just a very short period before being killed in battle at Five Forks in Dinwiddie County.From my fathers research on our family tree it was confirmed he was killed on April 1, 1865. He was not buried until December 9th of that year when his father was able to find and retrieve his body.
