My GGGGrandfather Pvt. Thomas Elliott was in the 20th.This is the only mention in Blanchard's book.Index gave me it.Page 32" Middle of page.A few days after our arrival we were informed that the 20th Regiment had come up with the Rebel Jeff Thompson at Fredricks Town and after a sharp skirmish had routed his band and had taken many prisoners and had got back to Birdspoint without the loss of a single man..."The next paragraph mentions Belmont and a hospitol I believe at Mound City might of been Birds Point.I see no other mention.
