Private John E Stuart of the 4th Texas was wounded at Sharpsburg in September 1862 and again at Gettysburg in July 1863, by then a Sergeant. His leg was amputated and he was retired and sent home in April 1864.

While he was in the hospital, in March 1864, he applied to the Association for the Relief of Maimed Soldiers in Richmond, VA for an artificial limb. The original is among the papers in his Compiled Service Records jacket in the US National Archives, Washington, DC.

Here he is in a post war picture provided to his Find-a-grave memorial by Sandi Costa.

Asa Hoxey Whiteside, a 19 year old Grimes County, TX farmer, was at Fox’s Gap and Sharpsburg in Maryland in 1862 as a Private in Company G, 4th Texas Infantry. He was captured at Gettysburg on 2 July 1863 and sent to Fort Delaware as a prisoner. On the night of 14-15 November 1863 he attempted to escape, but drowned in the Delaware River.

His namesake was Asa Hoxey (1800-1863), former Alabama physician and an early Texas pioneer. He was a close associate of Private Whiteside’s grandfather James John Whiteside (1771-1848) in what became Washington County, TX in the 1830s.

This portrait of a young Dr. Hoxey is in the collection of the Star of the Republic Museum in Washington, TX. More about him at the source for that picture: a bio sketch in the Handbook of Texas.

Private John Trant, Company G, 4th Texas Infantry, 22 years old, was killed at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862. Amounts due to him a the time of his death were paid to Captain R.H. Bassett as agent for John’s mother Elizabeth Jarvis Trant (1808-1865), widow of the late John Samuel Kennard Trant (1812-1854).

This document is from Private Trant’s Compiled Service Record jacket at the US National Archives.

Walter Clark’s Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from North Carolina in the Great War 1861-’65 (1901) [hyperTOC] is a go-to reference.

Here’s the page at the start of his chapter on the 48th North Carolina Infantry (Volume 2, pg. 113). In the middle of the group is Colonel Samuel H. Walkup. He was their Lieutenant Colonel at Sharpsburg in September 1862.

Idealized, line-drawn uniforms and collar insignia with faces superimposed. You can’t miss a Clark portrait!

Thanks to Andy Cardinal (@battleantietam) for the pointer to Walkup.

Former Austin, Texas Mayor Benjamin Franklin Carter was Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Texas Infantry and commanded the regiment at Sharpsburg in September 1862. In July 1863 he was seriously wounded at Gettysburg and died on the 21st in Chambersburg, PA.
