The middle name was given to me by Navona L. Norrod, a G-G-G-grandaughter of Alex (1829).Can't back up the name with anything "official".
I can't answer your second question.I must admit I did not see with my own eyes the microfilm roll quoted in my earlier posting, but a friend who was researching at the National Archives did and wrote down the info I quoted.Also, M. Lee Baldwin, a G-G-grandson of Alex (1829), has told me that his family tradition held that Alex was in the war (and served as a medical corpsman or surgical assistant), and also quoted a roster published in 1916 entitled "History of Fentress County, TN.".So, I could be wrong, but there are several bits of evidence that mesh.
Thanks for the location of Thomas's tombstone.
