Linda -- That's better! This man was a member of Company "G", 29th Alabama Infantry Regiment, the "Seals Guards" of Barbour County. The company was received in state service at Clayton, Alabama, for twelve months on May 3, 1861. The company offered its services to the Confederacy on August 3, 1861, and was ordered to Auburn, Ala., August 10, 1861. Officers and men enrolled there August 31, 1861. Capt. John Arthur Foster was wounded at Resaca, Georgia, May 14, 1864. If you were considering asking the National Archives for a copy of Floyd's service record, please contact me instead.

Debbie -- It's very imporant to know where an ancestor lived in 1860. Otherwise it can be very difficult to identify the right soldier. I see no CSA soldier named Todd with a first name starting with "G" in a unit from Alabama. There is an A. Moody in Company "I", McKenzie's 5th Tennessee Cavalry. At least that matches the colonel's name. I can copy CSA service records and pension applications from many states if you're interested.

According to his application for a TX pension for indigent soldiers in 1914: Thomas Jackson Smith enlisted in Co. G, 6th AL Cavalry. Clanton's Brigade; Cpt. Hollingsworth, Col. Long[Lary?] He enlisted Aug 1862 and was paroled at war's end May 1865 in Tallegdega AL He was a Pvt. In 1914, he was 69, was born in Cobb Co. GA; had resided in TX since 1869, in Bell Co. since 1883. M M Roberts and G F Glenn swore they knew him personally since 1861, that the above statements of his service are true, that he was a good soldier etc. Glenn further stated he was in the army with TJ Smith and was a mess mate of his during the war. They were sworn in Haskell Co. TX. Family history says he was a POW in IA/WI depending on who told it, that he and a buddy walked home at war's end, hiding in trees from Yankees, via OK where he met his wife who was half Native American[this may have been the buddy's story, T J's wife was from MS and not Native American] I have searched muster rolls, and a few prison records at the National Archives and haven't been able to confirm any of the above. His gravestone in Greathouse Cemetery, Bell Co. TX gives his dates as 10 Oct 1846-16 Dec 1922. In 1860 Tomas, age 14, was with his family [father George Robert Smith, blacksmith] in Calhoun Co. AL Peaks Hill P.O. In 1870 Thomas, age 22, was with his brother, Henry, in Pontotoc Co. MS Tardyville P.O. In 1880 Thomas, age 32, was with his wife and 2 daughters in Union Co. MS. I would like some confirmation of his service, in what action he was taken prisoner, and where/when he was a POW? If he was paroled at Tallegdega, does that mean he was physically at Tallegdega? Thanks, Dorothy

Hopefully you already have a correction to your ancestor's Captain, whose name was Pinckney Downie Bowles, not "Fonck D. Bowels", as stated. Also, your ancestor was wounded at Gaines Farm, not Cain's Farm, also called Gaines Mill, Va., June 27, 1862. As a member of the 4th Alabama Infantry, if wounded at Gettysburg, he probably was involved in the fighting in Devil's Den on July 2, 1863. The regimental record shows what happened to every member through Dec. 31, 1864. I'd be surprised if the CSR doesn't show the same information. Earlier this week the Birmingham News ran a front-page article on the last Confederate widow, who married a veteran of the 4th Alabama when he was 81 and she was in her teens. He died six years later and she eventually found a new husband, her deceased husband's grandson. She is living in a rest home in south Alabama today. -----Original Message----- From: Leonweekley@aol.com [mailto:Leonweekley@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 1:15 PM To: AL-CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AL-Civil-War] William A.

George Washington Jones' pension record states he enlisted in the 35th Al. Reg. Company C. at Lagrange in 1861.His officers were Goodwin and Captain Alvey Ashford. He applied for pension in Giles Cnty. Tn. in 1901, He moved to Tn @ 1869 or 70. Lived there until he drowned in 1904. I visited Moulton, Al in early 1990' someone that lived there droveto house in Moulton ,explained ,though it-- now a residence, that during civil war it wasa hospital. I have no verification other than that statement. In Mr. Jones pension record, he states that he was at hospital in Moulton. Since he is not on roster I found listed by Linda Green, I assume he was in hospital most of the time. However, if he enlisted in 61 and was left at hospital in 64, he must have seen some action. According to his pension request and reply from the War department states as follows: There are no rolls on file in this office of the 35th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army. The prisoner-of-war records show, however, that a G.W.Jones, of the 35th Alabama---,Confederate States Army, was exchanged December 2,1862, Near Vicksburg, Mississippi. No further record of him has been found. He did receive a pension. and I wonder that since he enlised in 61, in hospital 64, could this have been. him?
