Biography

Sgt Henry Aldrich served in the United States Civil War.
Side: CSA
Regiment(s): 32nd Louisiana; Miles' Legion

We are a bit fuzzy on where he was born. Possibly in Louisiana. He was living in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1840.^[1]

He was a CSA Quartermaster Sergeant in Co. A, 32nd Regiment, (Butler's Avengers) Orleans Miles' Legion Volunteer Infantry where he fought in the Battle of the Plains.^[2]

Research Notes

• Henry's wife Cornelia Ann (Ann) Aldrich formerly Hubbs was born about 1819 in Deerford, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana
• His son Madison Cornelius (Cornie) "Cornie" Aldrich Sr. was born Feb 1839 in Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
• Therefore Henry's date of birth should be about 1814 not 1944.
