Company "E" of this regiment was recruited in Butler County. Its captains were: Richard W. Carter. Appointed Major [July 15,] 1864, to rank from May 17, 1864. Joseph J. Allen. Promoted Captain [July 15,] 1864, to rank from May 17, 1864. Accepted in Confederate service at Bethel Church, Alabama, March 29, 1862, this company mustered at Camp Stone, Montgomery, Alabama, April 3, 1862. Commissions were dated April 23, 1862. The regiment began its service on picket north of Pensacola. During the spring of 1863 it was sent to northeast Mississippi. From that time forward it served with the 56th Alabama, history mentioned in another recent post. Please contact me if you need a copy of an Alabama service record or pension application.
