Great Grandpa Willaim Buford enlisted on March 21, 1862, and was assigned to the newly formed 26th Infantry of Company H. His parish of enlistment was Terrebonne. From what I can find, his company served at both battles of Vicksburg where, like so many other Louisiana natives, was captured on July 4th 1863 and paroled. So far, this is all I have been able to find out from the internet.
