Chaplains in the civil war

Someone asked a question on here quite a while back. I just came upon it and since it concerns my relatives, thought I'd answer. They wanted to know if Harrison E Hamilton was a chaplain. He was not. He was in the 12th Ga. Cpt Hlvenstein's dragoons. He was a sub for John F Conley. Harrison's son Wiley T. Hamilton was a Methodist minister and was a chaplain in the 12th Ga. Maybe that is where the confusion came in.
