Family Members in the Civil War

The Civil War is known as the war that pitted brother against brother.  I have family that served on both sides of the civil war. Each I am sure fought for their own beliefs and ideals. How do you honor one for their service without dishonoring another?  

I have found that for me, I have to make known their story and keep it alive as that was a part of them and their lives.  I might have agreed more with one side than the other, but it is more important that they are remembered for the whole of their lives and what they contributed to their era and their families.

Below is what I am sure is an incomplete list of family members and their area of service. Ultimately I have always wondered if they might have fought against each other. It may never be known for sure, some troops were at the same battles but due to capture, illness, or parole the soldier might not have participated.
