Re: Louisianians in CS Signal Corps

This morning April 2, 2011 it was my priviledge to dedicate a headstone for Jules Albert at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas. (Plot D2-465) I did not do the research so I can not answer anything more than what I read. I am copying directly from the script that I read, which might provide some clues for you. I do not know who did the research.

"1909 Confederate pension application (Texas) stated that after the 7 Days Battles near Richmond Va in June 1862 Cpl Jules Albert Co A. 5th LA Inf, was transferred to the Signal Corps, and sent to Port Hudson, LA. Statement borne out by reciept roll for $12 paid to Jules Albert of Capt. J.W. Youngblood's Signal Company, dated March 16, 1863 for Dec 1862. He was captured at Winter's Plantation, near Port Hudson on the night of March 17, 1863 as a result of a raid led by Lt. David Jones, 116 New York Vol. Inf. Jules was described as age 25, height 5' 6" , with dark eyes, dark hair, and dark complextion. He was paroled on April 4, 1863, and sent to the lines without exchange, being one of forty paroled and three exchanged in that transaction"

"He married Laura A. Johnson in Houston, Texas on March 27, 1870."
"Jules Albert was a charter member of the Dick Dowling Camp 197 UCV"

"Born 1837 LA-Died Aug 6, 1893 Houston, TX"

I hope this helps.
