Alfred Hugh Winters was born June 7, 1837 in Giles County, Tennessee the son of Orrin Lemon Winters and Susannah W. Elroy.  He died January 17, 1917 in Oklahoma.  He married on January 20, 1859 in Texas to Mahala Sylvania Daniels, daughter of George and Sylvania (Pierce) Daniels.  Both Alfred and Mahala are buried in the Kilgore Cemetery.  

Alfreds military records are a bit vague and confusing. On the muster roll of Jan.-Feb. 1864 he is listed as "Joined from desertion on Nov. 1, 1863.  Name does not appear in column of names present." This muster roll lists his enlistment date as Nov. 1, 1862.  He is shown as enlisted in Hallettsville by Capt. Gulliam for the duration of the war.  In November 1864 he was listed being Furloughed.  Alfred was a prisoner of war, but where and when he was captured is not listed. He was paroled on July 24, 1865. It list his residence as Lavaca Co. TX.
