Re: 8th Texas Infantry, Hobby's Regiment

I haven't seen anything giving a date of death for Levy Myers Harby, only a date of birth of 1793 in Charleston, South Carolina, but he must have been a very spry gentleman to still be doing all this stuff in the Civil War. My own GG-Grandfather, Lockwood Birdsell, was born in 1817, and I thought HE was pretty old to be in the Civil War. But I guess maybe the Confederacy needed men and didn't confine their recruits to the teenagers and 20-somethings. Lockwood Birdsell lived to be 91, finally dying in San Antonio in 1908, so I guess he, too, was pretty spry and energetic in his late 40's.
