Hey! My great, great grandfather was a confederate soldier. I don't know a whole lot about him, which I think is so sad! I tried to scan his headstone on my profile, but his name was Andrew J. Farmer. His headstone states the following info, which I don't understand, wondering if anyone could help or kinda give me direction in trying to find out more about him.

PVT

Andrew J. Farmer

Co 1

27 Ark Inf

CSA

I know he came back from the war wounded, but I'm not sure which war. My 14 year old son is going on a field trip to Gettysburg next week... and in studying for this trip we have really thought about Grandpa Farmer. He is buried in Fairbanks, Arkansas. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Blessings!
