FYI, even though this man's records probably say 54th Alabama, he also certainly belonged to the 57th Alabama. The 54th Alabama served near Vicksburg MS that summer, and never went to Mobile. Companies assigned to the 57th Alabama formed in Pike and surrounding counties during the spring of 1863. The regiment was mistakenly called the 54th until October of 1863. I'm also puzzled about the burial site. Why would someone from Pike County who died near Mobile be buried so many miles away from either of those places? Perhaps you know of a good reason. Oxford is one of the larger towns in Calhoun County, and not difficult to locate. I-20, which leads from Birmingham to Atlanta, runs right through the southern town limits of Oxford. The city of Anniston borders Oxford on the north. Please contact me if there are any questions I can answer. I'm certainly no expert with family lines. However, probate papers often appear in military records involving death claims. These may be useful in establishing family connections. As far as where this soldier is really buried, I'd ask Homer Jones. Homer’s a long-time expert on southeast Alabama CSA soldiers and their kin.
