In 1860, he was living with John Lewis Hammack as an overseer.
Captain Neblett enlisted Alfred in the company later known as Coleman's
Artillery 1 March 1862 when the company was first organized for
Confederate service. Captain Neblett commanded the company for the first
few months until his health failed and he had to resign.
Alfred was present with the company at Drewry's Bluff on the James River
thrugh three years of Confederate Army service. He was there on 28
February 1865, the last date on which muster roll records were compiled.
He may have been on The Retreat but there is no record that he reached
Appomattox Court House for the surrender there.
Alfred came home from the war and returned to farming.

Note for: Sarah A. Kirkland, - Index
According to "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia:"
In 1920, his widow, Sallie, was living with one of her sons when she
applied for a Civil War widow's pension. She listed her age in her
pension application at 74 years and stated that she had lived in
Brunswick County all her life. She gave her address as Elams, North
Carolina but it appears that she still was in Brunswick conty and was
receiving her mail at Elams Post Office, which was just across the state
line. John B. Shell (a confederate veteran) of Elams, and James J.
Moseley (a Confederate veteran) of Gasburg supported the pension
application of Sallie Moseley.

Note for: Samuel Wray, 17 FEB 1819 - Index
From "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia":
In 1862, Samuel Wray applied for an exemption from service in the
Confederate Army. The Army rejected his application 10 March 1862. We
have not discovered on what basis he applied for an exemption, but it may
have been to take care of his aged mother and invalid sister, Feriby. His
wife, Araminta, may have been ill then also. Records at the Library of
Virginia show that Samuel enlisted in Coleman's Artillery and served at
Drewry's Bluff for a time. Later, he served in the reserves, becoming a
member of Co. C, 4th Battalion of Reserves, which was Capt. Sabat
Griffin's company. The reserves did guard duty around bridges, supply
dumps, railroads and other key locations and were available to repel
Yankee intruders.
After the war, Samuel and his chldren lived near White Plains in Meherrin
District of Brunswick County. Samuel wrote his will 18 January 1898, now
on file at the clerk's office in Lawrenceville. The old Confederate died
7 March 1903 and lies buried in the Wray Family Cemetery on the west side
of Highway 644 near White Plains where a Confederate tombstone marks his
final resting place.

Note for: William Allen Wright, MAR 1830 - 24 JAN 1904 Index
Burial:
Place: Wright Family Cemetery on Highway 692 in South Brunswick County
Individual note:
According to "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia:"
Captain Neblett enlisted William in the Brunswick Rebel Artillery 1 March
1862 as an original member of this company. The scant records available
on this artillery company fail to show when William Wright's Confederate
Army service ended. The Army discharged him apparently before The Retreat
in April, 1865.
William's wife, Elizabeth, died during the Civil War, which possibly is
why he did not remain in the artillery until the war's end.
