ReplyDeleteI have recently begun digging through my own ancestry. Joseph B. York is actually my great-great-granduncle (his brother, CSA Sgt. Martin Van Buren York, wounded near Vicksburg and also buried at Persimmon Baptist, is my great-great grandfather). I've collected what I can find so far here: http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-61698751/york .
