1st Florida Infantry, Co.D, James-William Wright

I am searching for information on 2 members of Florida 1st Infantry Company D.
They are James Wright and William Wright. We are trying to determine if they were brothers and were in fact the men listed on the Company D rooster. There is also a Hannibal Wright who may be another brother.

We have information on a James Wright b 25 Dec 1835, Wifes name is unknown. We believe that they had a daughter Elizabeth Wright B 16 Dec 1859 but have not been able to find a child of Elizabeths age (6/12 mths) in the 1860 census and are trying to determine her parents. Both James and William are buried in a cemetary in Walton, Florida. I do not know the name of the cemetary but it is located :
Alt 90 turn right past the water tower. Past Beulah Community near the airport. An envelope was marked "Information found on graves in graveyard near Mossyhead, Fla. Off hiway 90.
His headstone says James Wright Born Dec 25, 1835-Oct 20, 1862 with the inscription
"Holy Bible, Book Divine, Precious Treasure, Thou art Mine. We do not know if this is the same James in the roster.

We believe that George W. Wright is his brother. George was born in Dale County, Alabama 28 Dec 1840. He died in Walton County Florida 14 Oct 1920.
He is listed in the Florida Death Index Vol 110. #11253
His wifes name is Mary F. B 06 Jun 1843 in Alabama. D 28 Dec 1914- Walton County Fla.
I have located him on the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census
Both George and his wife Mary are in the same cemetary with James Wright. There are family members who have suggested that the child Elizabeth Wright mentioned above was actually a sister of George Wright.
I also located his Confederate Pension file A07305 but there is no mention of family or the battles he was involved in. It says that he was home recouperating when the war ended but there are no details of his service or clues as to his family was. The following are details we have concerning William Wright:

1900 Census- Florida, Walton, DeFuniak Springs, dist 120, Line 38- They state that they had 7 children but only 3 were living. None were at home

1920 Census-Florida, Walton, Ealum dist. 111 Sheet 2a
George W. Wright, w/m,69, married 40 years, b in Alabama, Father-Georgia, Mother,Georgia
Mary F. Wright, w/f.,66, b in alabama, father alabama, mother alabama.
If anyone has any information related to the family of these two men, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and dedication to preserving our great history.
