I am trying to find information on Levi A. Patton who was a member of the 26 Alabama Infantry Company G.
I was able to find the following information;
Enlisted September 28, 1861 as resident of Jefferson County, Alabama. 5 feet 10 inches tall. Wounded at Chancellorsville May 2-3, 1863. Captured at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863 and sent to Fort Delaware. Signed oath and released on June 14, 1865 to Jefferson County, Alabama. He applied for pension in Faulkner County, Arkansas in 1913 and he died August 8, 1926. His widow Rebecca applied for pension in 1927.
Fold3 does not have any records on him and I have contacted Fort Delaware and they had very little info on him.
Obviously the above info was obtained from somewhere but where? Is there anywhere else to find service records or Widows Pensions? I even looked on Ancestry.com to see if one of his family members may have posted something public there.
Thanks,
Joe Wheeler
