I think this man may served in Company K of the 8th Florida Infantry. Company K was made up of men from Hillsborough County.  Polk County was formed from Hillsborough and Brevard. William Willingham enlisted in the CSA at Fort Brook near Tampa in 1862. He was wounded at Gettysburg and remained absent without leave.
