Looking for CSA Records but can't find them yourself? I used The Confederate War Department and while it isn't a free service, they found what I could not.

Just wanted to give y'all a heads-up... You don't have to buy a membership and you can search the records.

Russell Jordan Comment by Russell Jordan on July 1, 2011 at 8:44am
Peter,I checked as much as I could but never found any mention of either. But that would not be unusual because after the death of Terry(Dec.08,1861 in Ky.) parts of the 8th were under the command of 2-3 different brigades for the rest of the war. So actually trying to locate is very hard. Sorry I couldn't help more !

I'm looking for information on the 1st Tenn. Light Artillery (Scott's) There was an articifer named A.G. Comstock in this unit. This might be an ancestor but there are only 2 cards in his service record. If this man was born in Massachusetts in 1837 then I have a match!

My great great grandfather, William Staines (Often spelled "Stines" "Steines" etc) was a private in Company C of the 26th Texas Cavalry. He was killed by accident on July 22, 1864 in Louisiana. His service record doesn't reveal where or how he died. I'd like to find this and hopefully find some letters where he might be mentioned. His widow, Anna Maria Smith re-married in 1870 to Frederick Alexander Wolfean, a veteran of the 1st Texas Heavy Artillery Co, B and later transferred to the Texas Marine Dept. where he was a blockade runner. They divorced in 1890 and Anna never applied for a pension or benefits. Wolfean died in 1905 in Galveston. Anna died in 1901.
