Dena, Did anyone answer? I can't help with the details about Phillips or a muster roll--I would check with the Alabama Dept of History and Archives for that. However, don't fret too much about "not many" liking Partisan Rangers. There were PRs in nearly every state and they were essentially guerilla fighters. Some had a bad reputation such as Quantrell's bunch (though they were essentially using the same tactics as their enemy, they just were on the loosing side) and Mosby's outfit in Virginia which was also labeled outlaws and subject, at one point, to immediate hanging by the Yankees (Custer) if captured. Mosby was later ambassador to Hong Kong not to mention the subject of a TV series, the "Gray Ghost" in the late 50s and/or early 60s.

Leland, I have seen his grave so I am sure that he was there. Just can't find him lol. I was wondering if, because he was in a unit that consalidated with others, that he might be on the rolls somewhere else. I plan on writing for his info soon. I was amazed when I read that some people called them murderers and thieves. Maybe cause the history I was reading was written by the victors lol. Always a bit of a different story when you see where the history is coming from isn't it? Now that I know my ggreatgrand was a member of a group like that I want to learn everything. But, I would like to know the real story. I do have one question. I read that they had to supply their own weapons, mounts etc because they mostly volunteered for these groups... How did they elect officers? Or were they assigned? Thank you Leland for writing. I'm gonna hunt down some info on that tv show. That would have been cool to see. Dena
