Merry Christmas Indiana Jack,
Great site, lot of hard work! We've discussed these Childress twins before,
George Burton & Hugh Martin) By the way, there's a typo on spelling Hugh Martin
on your site. Here's some info I thought you had:
Volunteers - C Hale's 31st Ala 49th Ala
Childer,Cornelus Co. E Pvt.
Childress,George Burton Co. K 2nd Sgt. (31st)
Childress,Hugh Martin Co. K Lt. (31st)
Childress,Gideon S. Co. F Pvt.
Childress,Isaac Co. F Pvt.
Childress,Samuel C. Co. K Pvt.
Company K, 49th Madison Co, Alabama
This company rendezvoused at Huntsville,Alabama on 27 Dec 1861,was mustered and
inspected by Thomas J. Foster by direction of Governor Shorter. They left
Huntsville, Ala on the 30th by railroad via Stevenson, Ala and arrived at
Nashville, Tenn on 31 Dec 1861. They were mustered and duly sworn into service
of the Confederate States of America on 15 Jan 1862 for 12 mths, from 27 Dec to
27 Dec 1862. Captain John R. Gardner signed for supplies for Co. K, consisting
of 81 enlisted men, in Nashville, TN on Jan. 21, 1862.
Childress,George Burton,2nd Sgt.Died 3 Oct.1862 Corinth, MS Childress,Hugh

Port Hudson,LA, July 9, 1863 Connally, John W.Pvt.Captured Port Hudson, LA, July
9, 1863 Peevey,Leroy M., 1st Lt.
OBITUARY OF SGT. GEORGE B. CHILDRESS From The Texas Christian Advocate:
"In a recent number of the Advocate you recorded the death of gallant Lt. Hugh
M. Childress, who fell at Baton Rouge, La. It now becomes my melancholy duty to
announce that his twin brother, Second Sergeant George B. Childress, was killed
early in the action before Corinth, Oct. 3, 1862. The deceased was present at
the Battle of Shiloh, where he greatly distinguished himself by his cool and
soldierly bearing, and was most severely wounded by a spent ball. Since that
time he had suffered severely from continued illness, and had joined the army
from sick furlough just previous to the battle. Against the advice of his
officers and friends, worn and feeble as he was, he went into the action and
gave up his gallant spirit in defense of his country."
Died on the first day of the two-day Battle of Corinth, Ocober 3 and 4, 1862.
CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF EVENTS LEADING
TO THE
BATTLE OF CORINTH
October 3rd and 4th, 1862
By
Hugh Horton
October 2
Confederates take up line of march toward Corinth, skirmish at Young's Bridge
over the Tuscumbia River, bivouacs at Chewalla, eight miles northeast of
Corinth.
October 3
Confederates move out at daybreak--Lovell's Division in front, skirmishes with
Federal pickets. At 10:00
a.m. Lovell's Division is deployed south of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
and Price's Division
on the north.
The coordinated attack drives the Federals from the old Confederate works and by
late afternoon the Union soldiers are behind the inner defenses of the town.
October 4
Van Dorn's plan to resume the battle at daybreak is delayed by the illness of
one of Price's Division
Commanders. Confederates break through the Federal lines about 10:00 a.m. and
enter Corinth from the
north, fighting in the streets all the way to the Tishomingo Hotel. At the same
time the 42nd Alabama, 35th Mississippi, and 2nd Texas Infantry along with the
6th and 9th Texas dismounted cavalry broke away from the main body to attack
Battery Robinett.
Battery Robinett was a three-gun redan, commanded by Lt. Henry C. Robinett,
supported by the 37th, 39th, 43rd, and 63rd Ohio and the 11th Missouri
regiments. The three separate charges on the position fail as well as the
assault on the town. By 2:30 p.m. Van Dorn is forced to abandon the field.
==========================================================
OBITUARY OF LT. HUGH MARTIN CHILDRESS From The Texas Christian Advocate:
"Lt. Hugh M. Childress, the brave, gallant and patriotic, fell mortally wounded
at the Battle of Baton Rouge, Aug. 5th, 1862 and died in a few hours, with that
cheerfulness that ever adorned his brow sending a final farewell to his parents
and friends, and requesting them to meet him in Heaven. Parents and friends
should be cheered at such noble sentiments when uttered by the dying. He
enlisted in Capt. John N. Gardner's company of Joe Bradley Rebels, the 15th of
January, 1862 as fifth sergeant of the company; fought through the Battle of
Shiloh, afterwards was promoted to Orderly Sergeant of the company and, at its
reorganization under the conscript act he was promoted to Second Lieutenant.
None scare rose so fast. He was liked by all and loved by many."
Baton Rouge
Other Names: Magnolia Cemetery
Location: East Baton Rouge Parish
Campaign: Operations against Baton Rouge (1862)
Date(s): August 5, 1862
Principal Commanders: Brig. Gen. Thomas Williams [US]; Maj.
Gen.
John C. Breckinridge [CS]
Forces Engaged: 2nd Brigade, Department of the Gulf [US];
Breckinridge’s Corps [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 849 total (US 371; CS 478)
Description: In an attempt to regain control of the state,
Confederates wished to recapture the capital at Baton Rouge.
Maj.
Gen. John C. Breckinridge planned a combined land/water
expedition
with his corps and CSS Ram Arkansas. Advancing west from Camp
Moore, the Confederate land forces, coming from the east, were
only
ten miles away on August 4. They reached the outskirts of the
capital
early in the morning, formed for an attack in two divisions,
and began
to drive back each Union unit they encountered. Then, Union
gunboats
in the river began shelling the Confederates. The Arkansas
could have
neutralized the Union gunboats, but her engines failed and she
did not
participate in the battle. Federal land forces, in the
meantime, fell back
to a more defensible line, and the Union commander, Brig. Gen.
Thomas
Williams, was killed soon after. The new commander, Col.
Thomas W.
Cahill, ordered a retreat to a prepared defensive line nearer
the river
and within the gunboats’ protection. Rebels assailed the new
line, but
finally the Federals forced them to retire. The next day the
Arkansas’s
engines failed again as she closed on the Union gunboats; she
was
blown up and scuttled by her crew. The Confederates failed to
recapture the state capital.
=================================
I also have a William Preston Childress who served about 3 1/2 years in the 18th
Infantry, Company A from 1862. He died in Texas in 1916.
Hope this is useful.
