The Dismukes and Their Kin (correction)
In subject book is an entry that Maria Longstreet married Elisha Dismukes, Jr. on July 25, 1847 (1849?) and that she was a daughter of General Longstreet.
Recent informaton from a Longstreet biographer is that General Longstreet did not marry until 1848 and his wife's name was Maria Louisa Garland.They had a daughter, Maria Louisa Longstreet, born July 29, 1879.
In fact, Elisha Dismukes, Jr. married Maria Nelson Longstreet, sister of General Longstreet.Those who own copies of the book may want to update/correct them accordingly.
