The information I had was taken from Form B "For Use of Widows of Soldiers Who Are In Indigent Circumstances"
The State of Texas. The form was filled out by my great grand mother, Lucinda Downing Harvey. I would doubt she was trying to pull a scam. Not all records of all CSA soldiers survived in my opinion. I looked up the same records you saw. That J F Harry was the closest. She stated that he enlisted Jan 1, 1862 and was in for the duration of the war and was discharged in 1865.
