Surnames: Short Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CkB.2ACI/1912 Message Board Post: I am looking for info on AB Short. Was in Bell County 1860 Census. Served in the Civil War as Confederate in Capt. Newels Co., McNeils Regt, Walker Brigade, Trans Mississippi Division. He was admitted to the Confederate Veterans Home in Austin TX in 1898 and died in Austin in 1913. He is buried in the Confederate section of the Texas State Cemetery. I am trying to find out about his Civil War Service and can find no info on his company. Does anyone know anything about the above mentioned company, regement, etc, or about AB (Alfred) Short.
