2nd Lieutenant

Joshua was born 3 Feb 1838 in Jackson Co. Ala. On the 1860 census he is 22 y/o living in Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La. He enlists 11 Dec 1861, the same day as his brother-in-law Calvin Holloway in Co A 19th La. Infantry. He has 28 cards in his archival file. on 31 June he is elected to 5th Sgt and then to 4th Sgt. 16 July 1863 he is appointed in the field to Jr. 2nd Lieut. He suffers a gunshot wound to his knee ib 20 Sept 1863 in action at Marietta Ga. He is sent home on wounded furlough which is extended by Dr. Philson due to complication. It appears he did not recover full use of his leg and I have not found any documentation to indicate he returned to his unit. He served with Gibson's Brigade, Clayton's Division, Lee's Corps Army of Tennessee. He died 16 Feb 1906 and is buried in the Eastview Memorial Park Cem. at Vernon, Wilbarger Co. Texas. We are related by marriage.

Jesse was born in Pone, Rusk County Texas near the Louisiana line. He is the youngest member to serve the Confederacy I have found in my over 40 years of researching the CSA national archives. He is listed on the 1860 census as 11 years old. He enlisted 11 Nov 1861 in Capt. Louden Butler's Co [ Robin's Gray's]. His family thinks he was about 13. This unit became Co B 19th Louisiana Infantry. He has 20 cards in his archival file. He was present at the battles of Shiloh, Farmington, Siege of Jackson, and was wounded in the left thigh at the battle of Chickamauga. He returned to his unit and fought thru the Atlanta Campaign. He is retired [per CMR remark] while at the hospital in La Grange Ga. when the wound to his thigh began to cause severe problems. I did not find any record of him in the consolidated Pelican Regiment. He married my cousin Nancy Eugenia Covington and died in Redlands, Bossier Parish, La and is buried alongside his wife in Salem Cem. at that location.

Hugh came to Bossier Parish from St. Clair Co., AL in 1859 before the war and joined Co. B when it was raised. (Interestingly, his father in Alabama joined the Union''s First Ala. Cav, USV.) Hugh was taken prisoner July 16th, 1863 at Brandon, MS, apparently while part of a detail assigned to burn the Pearl River railroad bridge to cover Gen. Johnston''s retreat from Jackson after the fall of Vicksburg. He was incarcerated at Camp Morton (Indianapolis, IN) and paroled March 25th, 1865. I still have his leave papers granting him 30 days leave as a paroled prisoner.
