Ed,

Ed have you tried the Civil War Soldiers & Sailors webiste for Barland's who were listed as being in the Confederate Armies?

As of September 2004, the CWSS database contains over 6 million soldier names. These include records from all Union and Confederate states/territories.

Good Luck & Best Wishes,
