All four of my gggrandfathers served in the Civil War. I need some clarification with this one's records. All you experts out there jump in. Sorry it is so lengthy. My gggrandfather joined March 1862; He is listed as 5th sergeant, Captain B. F. Fly's Compnay, 2 Regiment Carter's Brigade, Texas Mounted Volunteers - small type at the bottom "This company subsquently became Company "I" ____ Regiment Texas Calvary. Then he is listed as a private. April 1862 he is listed as on "detached service." What is this? He is present September and October 1862. Where was this regiment during this time before going to Arkansas? He was captured 11 January 1863 at Arkansas Post - sent to Camp Butler. In small print at the bottom of muster roll - arrived at Point City, VA 17 April 1863. Then on detached service at Petersburg, VA. On July and August, he is present and due $12.00 for use horse for one month and mileage 50 miles from Round Top Texas...compensation of clothing from the 15th day of March 1862 and to the 8th day of October 1862. What is that about? Did he owe the army something? Sept & Oct 1863 he is sick in hospital; special requisition- the articles specified are absolutely requisite...for his comfort. One pair pants, one pair drawers, 1 shirt, 1 blanket. Nov & Dec 1864 sick in hospital. 22 December 1864 Medical Examining Board, Dalton, GA - Probable duration of disability 6 months - (it looks like Gastratis - I was told that was diarrhea) Then 1 Jan 1864 - Invoice - military clothing issued to patient - St. Mary's hospital, La Grange, GA. Jan & Feb 1864 on detached service by order of General Johnston; March 16 died in hospital. He is buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Pulaski, Giles County, TN. Why would he be buried in TN? There are only 12 Confederate soldiers buried there. I was told there was a hospital where the cemetery now is. Could he have been in a hospital other than the one at LaGrange? His wife and children are listed on the Confederate Indigent Families of Fayette County, TX. Were soldiers just buried where they died or she was not able to bring him home? Lots of questions. Any ideas or information or enlightment of any kind will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ~ Janie
