Jackie, What is your source for the info. on the enlistment of Daniel MOSELEY in the Grove Hill Guards of the 5th Alabama Infantry? I am working on a history of that unit and don't find his name in the Compiled Service Records. Can you provide details on the other men of the 5th Alabama that you mentioned?

Officers and men went to prison camps when the garrison surrendered on Feb. 16, 1862. Survivors were later exchanged at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Sept. 20, 1862.

To have any hope of finding the correct military record, you really need to know where this man lived in 1860. The Lawrence County census for 1860 is incomplete, so names of residents do not always appear on the register. The W. S. or W. J. Jones that you mentioned is not a likely candidate. That man belonged to the 7th Alabama Cavalry, which was composed of men from the central part of Alabama. Doug Anderson has been collecting materials about the 35th Alabama Regiment for some time. I'd suggest you contact him about your ancestor, G. W. Jones. Doug and I are contributors to the Alabama in the Civil War Message Board, which is oriented towards questions like yours.

Goodloe lists my ancestor in Bible class No. 1 and Doug's in Bible class No. 2. It's a great book. There are at least two publications on the 27th Alabama if you wish to check those. Alan

Huntsville Ala. was briefly in Confederate hands in December 1864, Southerners having to leave hastily the day after Christmas. Except for that time, the town was in Northern control from July 1863 until the end of the war. Also, to my knowledge no prison camp was established by either side in north Alabama. Confederates operated small prisons at Tuscaloosa and Montgomery for short times, a larger one being at Cahaba Ala. Confederates captured in the Tennessee Valley were forwarded to prison camps north of the Ohio River by way of Nashville Tenn. and Louisville Ky. Here's a map showing all the major prison camps for both sides: http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/11andersonville/11locate1.htm If you would go over the exact language on the service cards, that should help explain things.
