Thanks, George, but this is the wrong man. My Martin Borden was born in 1844 in Alabama but died in 1915 in Winn Parish, Louisiana. The only info I have of his serving in the 26th Mississippi is on his "Find a Grave" site. Since he does not have a Confederate headstone, it may be that the researcher confused our Martin Borden with your Martin Van Buren Borden. I'll have to check further.
