Noah Franklin and the 55th VA at Gettysburg

Noah Francis Jackson was my 4th great uncle.  He was brother to James Robert Jackson (Tulip James).  Both brothers fought in the Civil War; Noah for the Confederacy and James for the Union.  James was killed during the war when the ship he was piloting exploded in the Potomac River.  Noah who served in the 55th VA Infantry Regiment survived the war.  One battle the 55th VA was involved in was Gettysburg- a location near my home.  Here is a video explaining the involvement of the 55th VA during the Battle of Gettysburg.
