Notes:

US Confederate Soldiers Compiled Service Records, 1861-1865, show that he enlised in 1862 and served in the Thirty-Seventh Infantry, H-La. The Civil War Service Records database on Ancestry.com shows he was in Co. K, 37 Mississippi Infantry, and his rank at induction and discharge was 1 Sergeant.

Paula Jones shows that he died in 1862 in Jasper County, Mississippi. Civil War Prisoner of War Records shows that an A. Husbands surrendered on May 4, 1865, and was paroled on May 17, 1865 in Meridian, Mississippi. A. Husband was a Pvt in Company A, from Smith County, Mississippi. Likely these are two different A. Husbands, but all records should be further examined.

Notes:

Married:
David,your great, great, great grandfather was Augustus Lewallen(various spellings)Husbands. He was a soldier in the Confederate Army when he was killed. I don't think that anyone but God knows where he is buried. So many bodies were just left on the battlefield at that time. His wife was Mary Ann "Polly" McBay, and she is apparently buried in an unmarked grave. The courthouse of the county where they lived was burned leaving very few records. Their children were taken in by Lewis and Susan (McBay} Gaddy and one of their sons. Susan was a sister of their mother.

My grandfather was Davis(not David) Beauregard Husbands.

And, another thing, your grandfather was Charles Francis Husband. He told me that himself. He considered Francis to be a "girl's name" and never used it. The kids used to tease him about it so he didn't like the name. You can contact me anytime. I will be glad to help all I can.
