Records of this regiment, which organized at LaGrange Military Academy during March 1862, are scarce indeed. Alva Elgin Ashford was captain of Company "C", officers and men from Lawrence and Limestone Counties. That company organized on March 12, 1862, at Courtland, Alabama, and mustered at LaGrange, Alabama, March 31, 1862. It was equipped at Captain Ashford’s personal expense. Doug Anderson has been collecting materials about this regiment for some time. I'd suggest you contact him. Perhaps you have seen A. T. Goodloe's "Confederate Echoes" http://www.civilwarancestor.com/STORE/files/Ebook0041.htm Goodloe was a lieutenant in my ancestor's company and taught Bible classes in the regiment during the Atlanta Campaign. Goodloe lists my ancestor in Bible class No. 1 and Doug's in Bible class No. 2. Doug and I are contributors to the Alabama in the Civil War Message Board, which is oriented towards questions like yours. Doug answered someone who asked about an ancestor in Company "G" yesterday: http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/boards/alcwmb/index.cgi?read=9083 The link includes Doug's email address.
