"Private Elliott BATSON - Inscription on tombstone #1647 reads "Errin Batson Co. C 16 S.C. REG. C.S.A." Taken prisoner as a result of the battle of Nashville, Tennessee. Each and every man who was in the war should have a paper trail. Tombstone #1647 should belong to Private Elliott Batson of Company K 16th Regiment, South Carolina Infantry aka the Greenville Regiment and not to Ervin or Irvin Batson of Company C 16th Regiment, South Carolina Infantry. These were two separate soldiers living in two separate households with two separate enlistment dates and in two separate companies with two separate birth years.
