ELLINGTON, Joseph

Need help identifying the unit of the below man:

ELLINGTON, Joseph
Born July, 1847 in Pickens Co, Ala., moved to Louisiana in 1858. He married to Martha Coleson of Union Parish, La. between 1860 and 1870, the daughter of James W. and Prudence Blankenship Coleson from Butler Co., Ala. Died January, 1907. Service unknown, but he filed for a pension (in Louisiana?).

From his age (abt. 18 years old in 1865), I would guess that he was in a Junior Reserve unit.
