Pvt. C.P. Corley, Co. B, 12th Texas Infantry(Young's Regiment. 8th Reg't Texas Inf.) 7 fold3 pages. He enlisted on March 17,1862 in Nacogdoches County for 3 years. If his d/o/b is correct on FindAGrave, he would've been 32 at enlistment. He was "Present" on the 2/29-6/30/1862 Company Muster Roll. On the July/August 1862 CMR he was "Absent. With rear division." It doesn't say why. On the September/October 1862 CMR he was "Absent. Sick at home since Aug. 31." Gap in records. Next CMR is March/April 1863 and he was "Absent. Sent to convalescent camp near Pine Bluff, Ark. April 25, '63." Another gap in his records. Next and last CMR is January/February 1864 and he was "Present". He had a younger brother who served in the same Company and Regiment.
From NPS:
"OVERVIEW:12th Infantry Regiment [also called 8th Regiment] was organized and mustered in Confederate service at Waco, Texas, during the spring of 1862. Its members were recruited in the towns and cities of Clarksville, Cameron, Hempstead, Nacogdoches, Fairfield, and Waco, and the counties of Comanche, Milam, and Grimes. The regiment was assigned to O. Young's and Waul's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and saw action in Louisiana and Arkansas. After fighting at
Jenkins' Ferry, it moved to Hempstead and disbanded in the spring of 1865. The field officers were Colonel Overton Young; Lieutenant Colonels William Clark, B.A. Philpott, and James W. Raine; and Major Erastus Smith."
The 1870 Census shows he and wife living in Nacogdoches County and he being a farmer. He died in 1893. His widow filed a Pension Application on November 1, 1922, approved same day. I could not find a Headstone Application. His military flatstone got a good D/2 spraying before I left. The pictures aren't that great. The sun was still low on the eastern horizon, his gravesite was shaded and lighting conditions weren't favorable.
