Private Thomas Henry Green of the 16th Mississippi Infantry survived a chest wound at Sharpsburg in 1862 and returned to duty to serve to the surrender at Appomattox Court House in 1865.

Here he is somewhat post-war from a photograph contributed to the FamilySearch database [free membership required] by Katherine L Brister.

From the Augusta, GA Weekly Constitutionalist of 22 October 1862, online from Georgia Historic Newspapers:

John Garland Markham was 5th Sergeant of Company F, 16th Mississippi Infantry when he was killed at Sharpsburg.

First Lieutenant Charles Henry Wilson of Company F was thought to have been killed there also, but was wounded and captured, losing his leg to amputation. He survived the ordeal and resigned his commission in May 1863.

Robert was a private in the 16th Mississippi Infantry during the Civill War and was slightly wounded at Sharpsburg in 1862.
