TWENTY-NINTH REGIMENT.

Roster says: “G. W. Wilson, Chaplain, commissioned 24
June, 1862, Yancey County.” General R. B. Vance writes:
“Dear Bro.: Rev. G. W. Wilson never was, to my knowledge,
Chaplain of the Twenty-ninth North Carolina Regiment.
My first Chaplain was a Baptist minister from Cherokee
named Chastain. The second was Rev. E. C. Wexler, of
Holston Conference, a fine preacher. For a while we after-
wards had Rev. S. M. Collis, a Baptist. I left the
regiment in June, 1863, and was never with it again. So
I cannot tell who they had after 1863. The regiment went
to Mississippi while I was sick with typhoid fever and had
no knowledge of their movements.”
