Comments:

B. F. Sutton is Benjamin Franklin Sutton (b. 1838; d. 1897). The 
suffix, Jr., accompanying his name would suggest that his father 
was Benjamin Franklin Sutton, Sr. However, B. F.’s proven father 
was Hardy Sutton.  

C. L. Chesnutt was a Captain and Acting Quartermaster for the 
Confederate Army, 13th Batallion Light Artillery. See

Chesnutt 

Per Martha Mewborn Marble (personal communication, 3.9.14), 
"My hunch is they seized the fodder and gave Benjamin a receipt 
for which he never collected."
