Need help understanding documents

[CindyDriscoll]

Hello, I'm wondering if someone could possibly help me to understand the documents (found on Ancestry) below.

I believe these may be 2 separate Hoy men carrying the same initials. However, I'm not sure. According to a picture included with the 1st document below it states that Corp. S H Hoy was wounded, not killed.

The 2nd document seems to contradict itself, IMHO. It shows that he didn't survive the war, but in the service record it shows that he mustered out.

Would he be shown on Civil War records as being mustered out if he was deceased?

Thanks!

Can someone with Fold 3 look to see if the older brother Solomon Hoy is listed in among the members of the regiment? Perhaps he is the other S Hoy?

Hello Cindydriscoll.

Welcome to CivilWarTalk.

We have some members that are pretty good at solving these puzzles.

Can someone with Fold 3 look to see if the older brother Solomon Hoy is listed in among the members of the regiment? Perhaps he is the other S Hoy?

I checked fold3 and didn't see Solomon Hoy in the 24th Virginia.

I'll keep looking to see if that name shows up in another unit.

I'm not finding anything about Solomon Hoy, but here are the fold3 service records for James & Sam Hoy:

A visit to Fold 3 should illuminate the question.

They have a 7-day free trial for folks like you (and me).

I just tried it earlier this month. Definitely worthwhile,
