From the book "57th Virginia Infantry" by Charles W. Sublett:

Peters, William  enl 7/21/61 Pig River in Co. C.  AWOL 10/26/01 to 12/61;
present thru 6/63.  KIA Gettysburg 7/4/63.

BTW, my GGF was also in the 57th (Co. A) and was wounded and captured at
Gettysburg.  They participated in 'Pickett's Charge'.

Good Luck,
Wayne
