*******************

Charles Short, 37 year old Farmer, enlisted as a Private in Company I, 37th Virginia Infantry May 2, 1861 at New Garden, wounded in head March 23, 1862 in the engagement near Winchester, Virginia, discharged August 5, 1862 by reason of the expiration of his term of service*

* Left unsaid is the fact that he was over the age of conscription and not subject to mandatory army service

** This fact is not found in his service record files, however the age of conscription was raised to 45 in September 1862 and he could have been re-called however, there are no company muster rolls extant for this period of time and this cannot be confirmed, nor any service thereafter
