James Polk Steely & the Texas/GA Steelys

I'm looking for information on the Steely family in Texas, originally from Georgia as far back as my research goes. James Polk Steely served in the Confederate army from Georgia, enlisting in Columbus. He was a POW at Ft. Delaware, captured at Gettysburg, and released after the conclusion of the war. He and his wife, Lizzie Culpepper, removed to Texas after the war along with his twin brother, Henry Clay Steely, Henry's wife, Matilda Haire, and the twins' mother, Jane (?Friar - remarriage?). James Polk is buried in Corsicana, Texas. This is pretty much all I know, and I'd very much like to trace the family's origins (as well as the origins of the wives) in Georgia or anywhere else they may have come from. Look forward to hearing from any and all. Thanks!
