I am also looking for additional information on a relative who served in Co H 63 GA Inf, CSA, as inscribed on his gravestone. He served the duration of the war, and passed on in 1906. There is a descrepency with the last name, one web site has corrected it, on the pensioners list. They have him, and my great great grandmother Sarah, listed as Helton, instead of Hilton. His name was Thomas E. Hilton, PVT Co H 63 GA Inf, CSA. I read the history of the unit, and see there was artilery attached to it. A story handed down through the family is that his finger was blown off during the war; I am a former US Army Artilery Observer, and am familiar with the big guns, of now, and yester-year. I know that this was a common injury for artilery men, if they did not clear the breech, in time, or some other factor was involved. His grandson, my grandfather carried the middle name Beuregard (sorry if spelled wrong), so I am curious to learn more of my ancestors service, since it was obviously important enough that a grandson carry a name of a General. I have met many obstacles due to the fact that Washington County, where I believe they are all from, (Abraham Hilton, census Washington County - 1820), has been split into many counties, including Montgomery, down through the years. Also it appears that census takers, wrote down Helton vs Hilton, on more than one census, making things even more difficult to trace. Sorry so long, just want to give what I have, and see if anyone else has any further info, that wont cost a bundle. I have very limited resources. Thanks for taking the time to read this. One more item, I have heard tale that he was there when the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter (probably every civil war descendant has heard this one - not sure if true - just curious)
