He enlists 4 Aug 1862 at Brookhaven by Major Clark. Capt. McIntosh's Company. 9 May 1863 he suffers gunshot wounds to both thighs [flesh] and is in the hospital at Howards Grove at Richmond Va. returns to duty 29 July.

Some of the Battles: 1861 Manassas, Seven Days, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg Siege, Captured in the skirmish at Berryville during the Shenandoah Campaign.

The name is William Lewis Gideon Ellard. (1833-1892) I don't know why the long middle name. I am not an expert, but research suggests the 13th was part of the Army of Northern Virginia and was one of the most battle tested in the war. He served under William Barksdale and survived Barksdale's charge @ Gettysburg, which killed most involved, including Barksdale. I believe his company to have been nicknamed "the Spartan Band". They were present at 1st Manassas, Seven Days Battle, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Fort Sanders, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse, Cold Harbor, Cedar Creek, and probably surrendered @ Appomattox Courthouse. He enlisted in 1861 and survived the war and is buried in Oddfellows Cemetery in Okolona, Ms.

This looks interesting. If anyone has information about James Pinckney Breazeale, confederate veteran, I would love to hear from you. He was my great-grandfather, and would most likely have fought with a Louisiana unit. He came from Neshoba County, Mississippi, moving to Louisiana a year or so before the war. After the war, he settled in Attala County, Mississippi, where he lived until his death in 1910. I can not procure a record for him, but the Daughters of the Confederacy always place a flag on his grave every year. No one knows his unit, but it is believed he was in a cavalry unit.
