References & notes
Service information from Henderson.1 His Sharpsburg status from a casualty list for the Regiment printed in the Southern Recorder (Milledgeville, GA) on 21 October 1862.
It is likely he is the Thomas Vinson (1835-1901) buried in Hosey Cemetery, Creek County, OK [via Findagrave]. Great-granddaughter Linda Vinson Barth put that man in Baker County, GA in 1860, married in Terrell County, GA in 1866, and living in Arkansas by 1877. First wife Anna Elizabeth Garrett died there in 1882, and he was in Oklahoma with second wife Martha Alexander (d. 1902) by 1894.
