If you really would like to see a family in the civil war that will knock your socks off, try the "Fighting Lobbs", at least that's what I call them. The Father, James Solomon Lobb, was being divorced by his wife of many years, Lenora Elkins. In the Circuit Court case #1095, Jan 31, 1880 green Co Ky, the explanation of circumstances is followed by this note about James Solomon Lobb.
"Civil War Veteran. Served in the 13th Ky Infantry with his sons James T., Jasper, and Demarquis. Son David was in the cavalry. James T. later also served in the 3rd Ky Cavalry with Reubin in Twymans co. They served under Brig. Gen E. H. Hobson. They fought at Shiloh, Corinth, and Perryville. In July 1863 they pursued Morgan across Ky and captured him in N. E. Ohio. On Sept 2, 1864, Atlanta surrendered to Major Gen Wm. E. Ward, who had recruited 3 regiments from the Green co Area."
