Hello,

I am a descendant of William Beckmann and most likely August Beckmann. Both enlisted in the Texas 2nd Infantry in Galveston in September 1861. Both fought at Shiloh, were injured, and captured by Union forces. William was imprisoned at Camp Chase and eventually paroled. August was not so lucky. He passed away in May 1862 at Camp Dennison and is buried at the Camp Chase Cemetery under the name Augustus Bergman, Co.C, Texas Rangers. I am seeking additional information on both William and August such as facts surrounding enlistment and if they were actually related. Please advise. Thank you.

Greg
