Jeff, I came across the following information through Google.

Are you familiar with the Goldsborough brothers? Major William Goldsborough of the Confederate 2nd Maryland Infantry captured his brother, Charles, who was a surgeon in the Union 5th Maryland Infantry.

The following link tells their story:

Also the following passage from the Confederate Military History, volume 2, mentions that William captured his own brother.
