William Lundy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Lundy (May 1860?-September 1, 1957) was a former claimant of the last living Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, having claimed to have served with the Alabama Home Guard in 1865. He was later discredited however, after an investigation into census records would reveal his date of birth as May 1860, rather than his claimed birth as 1848. His status would be discredited, along with the remaining two surviving veterans John B. Salling and Walter Williams.
