great great grandfather

Was a resident of Neosho, Newton County (taken from McDonald County)Missouri, but according to his obituary, 'went to Texas to enlist under his old friend Thomas Harrison'. Also in 34th Texas Cavalry. Fought in Waller's under Tom Green.He is pictured in the group of Green's unit at the Confederate Reunion of 1902 (I think in Houston). Might be same W H Fleming or William Fleming etc. that is in Terry's 8th Texas who was wounded at Shiloh and discharged, but can't find documentation of that. Obit states he was also at Big Black River, Pleasant Hill,Yellow Bayou. Sounds like Red River Campaign? Can't find his service record. Any help much appreciated.

Alford Forbes was a farmer from Ellis County, Texas. Family tradition tells us he was drafted into service in 1862 and joined the 2nd Texas infantry after the battle of Shiloh. Surrendered with his unit at Vicksburg, he walked home and stayed on his farm until exchanged, then rejoined his unit in Galveston.

Toward end of Civil War, the unit where Capt. William D. Goff served was stationed at Galveston, Texas.

Looking up family history.

My grandfather James L.Lockley served with Waul's texas legion & 2nd.Texas according to his confederate pension application which was approved by Texas in 1913.

Benjamin Madison Clark was born December 30, 1829 to William Isom and Jane (Williams) Clark in Sevier County, Tennessee. Benjamin enlisted in Company C, 2nd Texas Infantry on September 10, 1864. His unit was stationed in Galveston and didn't see too much action for the rest of the war.

William W. Adams enlisted in Gilmer, Upshur County, Texas June 26 1862. He was at Vicksburg when Pemberton surrendered. He was pardoned and went home.

Mary J. Adams, William's wife, applied for and received a pension for William's service in the War. Application number 4035.

I have pension records from the 1890's to early 1900's on my direct descendant who served in the Second Texas Infantry. I have
no idea how long he served in this unit, but it was until the unit
disbanded in May of 1865. He is buried in our family cemetery in
Spring, Texas. The Daughters of the Confederacy has placed a marker at the grave site.

Theo Clifton was born in 1836 in Tennessee, son of Wilson Clifton and Sarah Welch. Enlisted during the summer of 1861. He fought at Shiloh, Corinth, and Hatchie Bridge. Mortally wounded at Vicksburg in 1863 and died near Texarkana, Texas, trying to make his way back home. His body was brought back to Hopkins County, Texas, by wagon to the family burying ground and placed near his parents. He left one son, Augusta B. Clifton, born 1860 in Hopkins Co., TX.
