I am looking for records on Augustus Richard Gates. I have found him in civil war service records enlisted in the Union's 4th Reg't Virginia Infantry, Company C. This later became the 4th West Virginia Infantry, Company C. He appears to have enlisted at Pt. Pleasant, Va on October 10, 1862, joined for duty at Chapmansville on August 1, 1862. He was absent, sick from April to August of 1864 at Sandy Hook, Maryland. Unfortunately other than these cards I can't find him on any rosters of the 4th Virginia Infantry.

Before joining the army he lived in Tazewell, Virginia. His brothers-in-law all joined the Confederate Army. Pictures of him later in life show him without his right leg and left eye.

I'd like to know if I have the correct Augustus Richard Gates and if he received his disabilities during his service with the 4th Virginia (West Virginia) Infantry, and if he is, in what engagement was he wounded.
