Reference is the only source found that lists one “T. F. Digges.”[1191] No other information has been found about T. F. Digges, and he is not listed in the source used for compiled service records. This source document was created in 1861, so the name is probably not a misprint for Tarleton Fleming James [BH], since he enlisted in 1862 according his military record. The Black Horse name that “T. F. Digges” most closely matches is “Henry T. Digges.” His 6 May 1865 parole, from Winchester, lists him as age 22.[1192]
