Dorsey, shown by the 1860 CSA census, became part of the Confederate States of America at the age of 17 with his brother Daruis. Dorsey was in the CSA Florida infantry, Company I, 6th Florida Infantry, as supported by documentation from Soldiers of Florida. He was wounded at Powder Springs, GA, where "quite a few Union cavalry troopers were KIA." and he was 18 years old in 1862, and I am sure he saw lots of action due to his age. He was also wounded at the Battle of Murfreesboro, TN. You can see he has big respect to have his grave site marked and protected. This man did his service to CSA and did not get killed though he was of prime fighting infantry age during the Civil War (1861-1865)
Dawsey was the nickname , but it could have been Dorsey when he was young as well. William Dawson Padgett is also stated on his enlistment records. Dorseys grandchildren called him Grandpa Dawson and Grandpa Dawsey. His grandson, Robert Calvin, said that he walked with Grandpa Dawson every day and that he asked him about the hole in his back. He was told it was from something exploding behind him in Power Springs. Robert Calvin also said that Grandpa Dawson described lifting his musket to fire when a bullet went up the sleeve of his raised arm and out the back without touching him. He was also with his brother when he was killed. William was a POW at Camp Douglas, Illinois after the battle of Nashville, I do believe. His pension records may hold more.
Robert Calvin (RC) said that Grandpa Dawson had a brother that was killed, I believe in one of the battles of Chattanooga, whose name was Dozier Padgett. He could have been the Darius on the US Census.
