Anyone have 7th VA. Inf. Book?

[boozie]

Looking for additional information on the Peyton boys from Rappahannock County, Company B, 7th Virginia Infantry. Was hoping someone has the 7th regimental book.

Here is what I know:

William Peyton, Enlisted 1/15/63, died 2/18/64

John H. Peyton, Enlisted 4/20/61, no further notes on his fate.

Franklin Peyton, Enlisted 9/21/63, died prisoner Elmira, N.Y. 8/11/64 - Would like to know where he was captured.


Thanks for any help in advance!
