Surnames: HEARN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xhC.2ACE/829 Message Board Post: Searching for information on Joseph MK or Joseph MR Hearn (b. 1818-20) who was a resident of Butler Co., AL in 1860. We believe Joseph died in the service of the CSA., probably with an ALA unit. The most likely soldier we have been able to find in the roster of Conferderate soldiers is a Sgt. JM Hearn, 1st ALA Heavy Artillery, Co. K... However, there does not seem to be much written down about this unit (which I don't believe is the same as the 1st ALA Artillery Batallion...) Any info on this soldier or the above unit would be much appreciated Robert Holley Miami, FL
