Jefferson Parks Hulsey

(1830 - 1910)

Before Sharpsburg

A 31 year old day laborer in Murray County, he mustered as Private, Company D, 22nd Georgia Infantry on 16 May 1862 in Petersburg, VA.

On the Campaign

He was wounded by gunshots to his hip and arm in action at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862 and captured.

The rest of the War

He was briefly admitted to a US Army hospital in Frederick, MD on 12 October but transferred out to Baltimore the next day. He was paroled at Ft. McHenry on 14 October and then sent on to Aiken's Landing, VA, where he was exchanged on 10 November 1862. He was admitted to Chimborazo Hospital #4 in Richmond, VA on 23 October and was furloughed home for 40 days on 5 November 1862. He was still absent, sick or due to his Sharpsburg wounds, to at least December 1863 and was listed as "absent without leave" from September 1864 to the last roll of February 1865.

After the War

By 1870 he was a wagoner in Whitfield, GA and was a farmer at Ball Ground, Murray County in 1880. He moved to Central Texas, probably in the early- to-mid-1890s and farmed there. At the 1908 Census of Confederate veterans he was living in Abilene.
