The unusually close brothers were Chang and Eng, conjoined twins.

Their sons were (not conjoined twins):
Chang's son Christopher Wren Bunker and Eng's son Stephen Decatur Bunker

Christopher and Stephen Bunker both served in Company I of the 36th Battalion, Virginia Cavalry.


Edit - Since you knew which company they served in, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that "36th" was a typo and you intended to type "37th."

The "unusually close brothers" were Chang and Eng Bunker - Thai-American conjoined twins whose condition and birthplace led to popularization of the term "Siamese twins."
The sons served as privates in the 37th Battalion Virginia Calvary, (Dunn’s Battalion Partisan Rangers)
Their names were Christopher Wren Bunker (son of Chang) and Stephen Decatur Bunker (son of Eng)
