I am trying to find out if the Henry Gould who was a Corporal in Co. B , 14th (Austin's) Battn.,La Shp Shooters,Enrolled 28 Oct. 1861,at New River, LA is my Great Grandfather's brother. The Henry Gould listed above is buried in Ascension Cemetery in Donaldsonville in a large tomb along with many other Confederate soldiers who served in Austin's Battalion.
Is there any other information on these soldiers other than the short paragraph's in Booths
Confederate Soldiers? Are there any photos of this battalion?
Any suggestions where I might find his age,parents,next of kin,etc? Where would I write for his service records? My Henry Gould (actually Henry Atkinson Dorman Gould) was b. 27 April,1822 in Utica,NY.
Moved to Napoleonville,Assumption Parish,LA and is listed in the 1850 census as an overseer and living with his sister Emily Gould Birdsall Sparks and her husband Robertus Love Sparks and their children.In 1870 there is a Henry Gould age 51 living in Ascension Parish with the Rice family.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
