Charles Inkstone - Private
|
Charles Inkstone was in fact Charles Bulingham who arrived in New Orleans aboard a cargo ship from Cheltenham, England in 1861. Fought in battles North of Lake Pontchartrain where he was wounded. He died of a heart attack in New Orleans at age 59 in 1906. During the war he was wounded in the right side during a Union cavelry charge. Cannon fire caused the tops of Magnolia trees to fall to the ground and cover Charles, thus, he was not seen by the charging horsemen. Hospital records of the era show him recovering in Magnolia, Mississippi. Charles once hid, along
with fellow soldiers in the waters of Lake Pontchartrain
during one night to escape detection by Union forces.

V Berthelette - Private
|
There seems to be inconsistancies in the spelling of the last name. It has shown to be spelled 'Berthelot.' There are 5 other members located in 3rd Infantry and 9th Infantry spelled 'Berthelet.' We appear to be related by all accounts.
