My GGGGrandfather served in this unit.Recieved shrapnel to his head crossing the TN.river under artillery fire at Eastport,MS..One was Francis M. Sherill killed Oct.22,1862 at Covington KY and a Samuel J.mustered out June11, 1865.Elliot is a Border Scots surname.You were looking for sources check out :
