A coupla months ago,my father asked me to do some research on his great-grandfather who was born in Georgia in 1828,lived in Texas most of his life and who my dad thought might have been a Civil War veteran. It only took a few hours to confidently rule that out.
Last Friday I got my dad to give me some documents from some genealogical research that another family member did back in the late 70's. Turns out his great-grandfather had a lot of brothers and sisters. So far,I've determined that 2 of the brothers enlisted and served in Company K,18th Texas Infantry Regiment. After about 6 months,one of them was transferred to the 10th Field Battery,Texas Light Artillery and was later detailed as a wheelwright at the Ordinance Department at Marshall,Texas. The other served in the 18th Texas Infantry Regiment for the duration of the war. Found a picture of him too.
