Texas Infantry, on July 19, 1861, at Houston. He was detailed as
agent for the regiment at the Texas Depot in Richmond on Feb. 7,
1862. In this capacity, Edey facilitated mail service between
members of the regiment serving east of the Mississippi and their
correspondents back home. Edey affixed his label to envelopes that
were carried by civilians or soldiers who were willing to take them
and mail them when they arrived in Texas. In October 1862 Edey was
transferred back to the 5th Texas Regiment and was replaced by
Sergeant Jefferson Wright, who left his position after a month.
Edey was wounded and captured at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, and
sent to Fort Wood, New York Harbor. He was paroled on April 15,
1865. (Updated info from Crown, CWPS website).The CWPS census

one postmarked outside of Texas.Ex Parks, Lemley, Everett and
