If I remember correctly, by uncle was about 13 when he enlisted in the Confederate Army in the last year of the war. He was born in 1852, so he would have been 104 when I met him.

Forgive me, but this is where I’m having trouble. You must have been born around 1944. If you’re father was fifty at that time, he would have been born in 1894. That’s a difference of 42 years between brothers (your father and your uncle), unless it was your grand uncle.
