From the antietam.aotw.org. site.
There was a picture of James Parker and his wife Francis in the article from the February 28, 2013, Goldsboro (NC) News-Argus. This is the one where I got so much information in my Confederate Legacy blog entries over this past month.
I came across some more information on the man.
JAMES H. PARKER, 27TH NORTH CAROLINA INFANTRY
James Parker enlisted in the Goldsboro Rifles from Goldsboro, NC. The company later became Co. A of the 27th NC Infantry on 15 April 1861.
At Antietam, he was wounded in the arm in action September 17, 1862, called the Battle of Sharpsburg by the South.
