Civil War Family Connections

Through research on my family tree, I found that my ggrandfather on my mother's side fought for the Confederate army, 7th Mississippi Cavalry regiment, Co. D, in 1863. His name was Harris SANDERS.
On my father's side, my gggrandfather, Michael GUINTY (MCGINTY), fought for the Union Army; 12th Regiment, Illinois Infantry, Co. D.
Interesting aspect to my family history.
