I'm hoping someone out there might know something about Edwin J. Holley. He enlisted May 6,1862 at Natchitoches, La. into the 11th battalion infantry Co. B. and was captured on board the "Queen of the West" on April 14, 1863. He later enlisted as a private in Co. K Cresent Infantry and died April 17, 1864 from wounds at Mansfield, Louisiana.
I am related to a Edwin Holley that lived in the Parish of Winn, Louisiana. He was born ca. 1813. He is listed in the 1860 census but by 1870 the family had moved onto Texas where his wife is listed alone. So, I'm wondering if this could be my Edwin Holley that died at the battle of Mansfield. He would have been around 50 when he enlisted.
Any help would be deeply appreciated, Mike
