[Note: This is probably John Eleck Bittick, but could also be John Holland Bittick. Both lived in Obion Co, Tennessee before and after the war. Both were in 22 Regiment (Barteau's) Tennessee Cavalry/2nd Regiment Tennessee Cavalry. John Eleck Bittick was a Private in 1864; John Holland Bittick was a 2nd Lieutenant in 1864. Based on rank, it seems more likely that J. Bittick/Bittock was John Eleck Bittick. However, neither of their military records extend to 1865.]
