Note for: Edward Silas Wright, ABT. 1842 - 10 AUG 1896 Index

According to "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia:"

During the Civil War, Edward served in Capt. Branch J. Epes' Artillery Company, Johnston's Horse Artillery. This was the company in which his brothers, Allen and Charles, served. He enlisted 20 January 1862 but was discharged 1 December 1862 at Fort Drewry because of physical disability. He has survived rubeola, the dreaded measles that killed so many soliders, while in the Episcopal Chruch Hospital in Williamsburg.

Confederate Army records describe Edward as 5 feet, 11 inches tall, with fair complexion, blue eyes and light hair.

Edward came home and recovered from his illness. He later returned to the Confederate Army and served in the Quartermaster Department at Lynchburg, from which he received a furlough 5 December 1864.

We have not discovered whether he returned to service before the surrender but he probably did. According to a census of surviving Civil War veterans and widows made in 1923, Edward served in Co. B, 44th Virginia Infantry, Reserves. Organized 3 November 1863, this company served around Petersburg during the siege and surrendered at Appomattox Court House.
