Jack Mitchell had this to add; He received a serious wound to the left hand in the Battle of Gettysburg, PA. This wound probably severed the tendons/muscles on the upper side of the wrist, disturbing the muscular/tendon balance and causing the
uninjured underside tendons/muscles to draw the hand into a closed-fist position.

After being treated at Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, VA, he was reassigned to the Danville, VA area where he worked in a hospital.

There are military records for Thomas P. Cox in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. He is also listed in the book by Gregory, G. Howard. 38th Virginia Infantry, "The Virginia Regimental Histories Series." 1988. 1st ed., 137 pages. H.E.Howard Publ., P.O. Box 4161, Lynchburg, VA. 24502.

Married Martha Susan Joyce on December 23, 1867 in Henry County, VA.
