I have just joined this list and though I have many AL Civil War soldiers in my family tree, the one I need some help with is my great-great-great grandfather, Gilliam Hulon Preston. According to a database at Ancestry.com, there was a Gillan H. Preston who served in the 22 Alabama Infantry, Company B. I have searched the internet and cannot find any websites about this group and I am trying to confirm that what the database has listed is correct. Does anyone have info on the 22nd? My ancestor, Gilliam Hulon Preston, was b. 21 Mar 1827 in GA. I have found him in 1850 Butts Co. GA census and then 1860 Randolph Co. AL (Rockdale) census. Did the 22nd originate from that area or were area residents typically part of this group? Any info or advice on where or how to get more information about this soldier would be most appreciated!
