Thanks for the info on the three Broyles boys. Here's what I had on them. Julius J Broyles - Enlisted 5/8/1862, No further record BUT he does turn up in November 1862 as the Asst Surgeon of the 18th Ga Infantry and serves with that unit throughout the war, He had previous medical training so it is likely he transferred over to the 18th to fill this requirement, Son of John Taylor and Clorinda Hammond Broyles, Born 5/18/1831, Died in 1898, Cousin of Marcellus and Walter Broyles Marcellus Franklin Broyles - Enlisted 3/4/1862, Captured at Fox's Gap, Md 9/14/1862, Exchanged 10/2/1862, Captured at Gettysburg 7/2/1863, Sent to Chester, Pa hospital from Fort Delaware 7/19/1863 indicating that he may have been wounded, Sent to Point Lookout 10/4/1863, We know he was exchanged in early 1863 because he shows up on a Confederate clothing receipt record with the notation "par(oled) ex(changed) pris(oner), KIA 5/6/1864 at the Wilderness, Brother of Walter Long Broyles, Born 7/16/1837 in Anderson District, SC to Major Cain and Lucinda Nash Broyles Walter Long Broyles - Enlisted 6/19/1861, Died 11/13/1862 at Crumpton's Factory Hospital, Lynchburg, Va of pneumonia, Buried in Lynchburg City Cemetery but later removed (name shown in cemetery records as W L Boiles), Brother of Marcellus Franklin Broyles, Born 7/25/1832 to Major Cain and Lucinda Nash Broyles You'll note that I've been able to determine that Marcellus did not die in prison. A close examination of his compiled service record reveals that he was exchanged and died in battle at the Wilderness 5/6/1864. I've also been able to determine that J J Broyles only served briefly with the Legion before shifting over to the 18th Ga as an Asst Surgeon. The Broyles brothers also had a cousin in the same company they were in (Infantry Co B), Eugene T Kingsley. Here's his photo and story. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/PhillipsLegion/kingsley.html Do you know if photos of any of the Broyles boys exist?
