His younger brother commanded Company H of the 6th Florida Infantry, so it is possible that this was a legitimate military or militia commission. <br />I have heard that he was called "Uncle Bully" because he had the deep laugh of a bull gator. <br /><br />Best wishes on your research!<br />Col. Brian Wilkes (hon.)<br />now of Illinois.TGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019267826704924285noreply@blogger.com
