Leonard Bellar - Private
|
We just learned that my great-grandfather was in the Civil War, Griffin's Battalion, Texas 21st Infantry. We have always been known as Ballards, but find some of his records are recorded as Bellar. Being from Louisiana plantation country, how his name was pronounced there may have something to do with this spelling. We just do not know at this point. Be interested in finding out about this battalion in its everyday life during the war.

This was a consolidated unit that served along the Texas coast at Montagorda Island, Sabine Pass and for a short time at Marshall, Texas. They were moved to Shreveport La. late in the war.
