I am trying to find out which regiment my Great-Great-Grandfather, Charles M. LeSueur (also spelled LeSeuer, will probated as C.M.Lesueer, in Williamson County). He served in the Battle of Gettysburg (how do I find a Confederate Roster for this battle?) and the Battle of Galveston. He is said to have taken part in the "taking" of the Harriet Lane on January 1, 1863 (with his 15 year-old nephew, Branch Robinson). He was paroled (by the Union) as Lt. Col. LeSeuer. Unfortunately I am having trouble locating conformation on this information. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Unfortunately, I do not have any Gordons in my down line. However there are several men with the middle name of Gordon and my family is notorious for using a mothers; maiden name as a son's middle name. Should I come across anything, I will pass it along to you.
