Re: Edwin J. Holley Co. K Cresent Infantry

According to his enlistment papers, this Edwin J Holley was 20 years old when he enlisted. Perhaps he was a son of your Edwin J Holley? There was a Haster (or Hasten) Holley, who enlisted on the same day in the same company as Edwin, who was 29; I would guess this was probably a brother? Both men were born in South Carolina. Here are there records from the Mormon Genealogy records and from Booth's records. Their service records can be ordered from this website by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
