Below is my biography of
Thomas G. Pugh. Since he was not an officer in the Army, there is no biography of him in the National Archives.

Thomas G.
Pugh was born in 1844 in North Carolina. He is not found in the 1860 Census or in the Confederate Army
records, despite the Quartermaster General's statement that he had
been wounded in the field and was no longer able to soldier. A
Thomas Pugh, of Appomattox County, Virginia, was found to be unable
to do field service in the Camp of Instruction in August, 1863 and
may be the man in question. He is
found in the 1900 Census living in Emporia, Virginia. |

for service from April 1 to September 30, 1864 have been lost.
