Notes:
Enlisted on 9 October 1861.
Mustered in 31 December 1861, Lexington, Kentucky
as Captain into what was first called Captain Hedges' company of the 24th Regiment.
Later named Company G, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry.
Reassigned on 5 July 1864 because of wounds received in action.
Discharged in 1864 of wounds received in the battle of Resaca, Georgia while serving under Sherman on the march to the sea.
A brief history of the regiment states "The 24th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized in the fall and winter of 1861, under Colonel Lewis B. Grigsby, and was mustered into the United States service on the 11th of December 1861 at Lexington, Kentucky, by Captain Bankhead, United States Mustering officer. Soon after its organization it joined the main army, and was engaged in many of the most severe battles of the war, and did arduous duty in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. It would fill pages of the Report to give in detail all the places trough which the regiment marched, and the various difficulties and hardships with which it had to contend. At the muster-out at Covington, Kentucky on the 31st January 1865, the recruits were transferred to Company K, 6th Kentucky Veteran Cavalry. It participated in the following battles, in which loss was sustained, viz; Shiloh, Tennessee; Siege of Corinth, Mississippi; Perryville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; Resaca, Georgia; Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Georgia and Jonesboro".
We can assume that Peter Thompson Hedges would have been in all of the above up to Resaca Georgia.
