Albert Sidney Johnson later became a well-known Union general in the Civil War.

JOHNSTON was a KY native living in TX at the time the war broke out. He led CONFEDERATE troops in the "western theater" until he was killed at the bloody battle of Shiloh (Church), TN, the spring of 1862. He was one of the oldest generals on either side. He was unrelated to a VA-born "Johnston" -- Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, who surrendered to Sherman at Durham, NC, in the spring of 1865.

My error! Sorry! I did have the feeling that I had it wrong, but failed to look it up. Me bad!
