Looking for information on Thomas Short. Booth's list
Short, T. (also borne on Rolls as Sharp, T.), Pvt. Co. H, 17th La. Inf.

Sharp, T., Pvt. Co. H, 17th La. Inf. En. Oct. 12, 1861, Camp Moore, La. Present on all Rolls to
April, 1862. Roll dated May 23, 1862, Re-enlisted May 23, 1862, Edwards Dept. Absent, on
detached service. Rolls July, 1862, to Feb., 1863, Absent, detailed in Q. M. Dept., near
Charleston, S. C. Federal Rolls of Prisoners of War, Captured and paroled Vicksburg, Miss., July

Family history states he died on the way home from Vicksburg, and is buried in Mississippi, possibly Amite Co.
Any one here have more information?
Thanks,
