1^st Texas Infantry Regiment

Ancestors - Covey, Charles Fisher, Pvt - I ordered a book from you a few day back and we talked about the following. My GG G/Father, William Lindsay Coppedge, Capt. Co. K 7^th Texas Inf. died of chronic diarrhea in Afton Alabama which was in Barbour county. I am trying to locate his grave site. This fellow came to Texas in the early 1850 with a J. Clark and founded a school of higher education in Mury League or now Upshur Co. The next person is GG Uncle Charles Fisher Covey, Pvt 1st Tex. Inf. [Co. D I think] he was killed May 7th 1862 at Eltham's Landing Va. Some say West Point Va. Any help or Information on these two boys will be greatly appreciated.

5th Texas Infantry Regiment

Steel, George Washington. Our 2nd great grandfather, George Washington Steel, joined the 5th Regiment, Co. H of the Texas Infantry at Cold Springs, Polk County, Texas, August 20, 1861. At that time he was living in Cherokee County Texas. The captain of this regiment was John S. Cleveland. In October and November the muster rolls from National Archives show him as sick with disease in Gibson Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. He died in December 1861. The Confederate States paid $20.00 for a coffin and hearse for G. W. and James B. Ross, both of 5th Texas. They are supposedly buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond. I have never been able to bring up anything on my computer for the 5th Texas Infantry. Is there any available information on this company. Would he have enlisted in a local "company" and then combined with this infantry? I'm sure I am not using the correct terms but hope you understand my question. Thanks for any help.

4^th Texas Cavalry Regiment

Ancestors - Williams, Thomas Wilbur, Pvt. - In a recent dive into my family history I came upon a relative of mine who served in the Civil War. Alas I can find little of his units history or of any thing else of the matter concerning him. Here is what I have so far. "The records show that Thomas Wilbur Williams, private, Company K "Ford’s Company", "Green’s Regiment", 4th Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army, enlisted March 5, 1863. The last company roll on file dated February 29, 1864 reports him present. No later record showing him present in the military has been found to date. Both Thomas (Pension No. 14893) and his second wife Helen (Pension No. 17458) , filed for pension in 1909 and 1910. Both of their pension records can be found in the Texas State Library and Archives Commission located in Austin."This is what I have in my revision of one part of my families history. Can you please help me in finding out my dear ancestors units history? I would be forever in your debt. Sincerest Regards, Konrad Dean Williams Chicxulub1@aol.com
