Hello:
A few years ago I did a background study and found that Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Is my Great Grandfather. e mad a trip to Wheeler Alabama, and found the homesite and verified this information. I am 71 years old. I found a picture of Fighting Joe when He was younger, and had it framed and when our attorney came to write our will, he said “Wess, You looked pretty good in a beard!” to which I responded that the picture was not me, but was a pcture of Joseph Wheeler, Mjr. Gen. of the Calvary in the Civil War, who fought for the South.
