• donnaclegg said: This is a letter written by my great great grandfather Judge Phineas Thomas Scruggs. He had 3 sons all of whom served in the Confederacy. The one he refers to in the letter is the youngest Thomas Henderson Scruggs, 6th Tn Infantry. Sadly two years after this was written almost to the day this son, Thomas, was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga, Sept. 20, 1863. The two older sons, Lt. Edmund Rivers Scruggs, 2nd Mississippi Partisan Rangers who was my great grandfather and Capt. James Meriwehter Scruggs survived.
