    1. [AL-MOBILEBAY-L] Gage's Battery, CSA Artillery Group from Mobile
    2. While typing some information about one of my ancestors, James H. Hill, who was in Gage's Battery during the Civil War, I noticed some names on the roster that may be names recently mentioned on the Mobile Bay List or Alabama List. This unit was composed of Mobilians. So, I have listed them below, along with a little information about the battery, for all of you to view, just in case the list includes one of your ancestors. The list is kind of long. I hope that no one minds the post being so long. Kathryn Gage’s Battery (from Confederate Military History) Gage’s battery was organized at Mobile in October 1861, and remained under the command of Captain Charles P. Gage in the defenses of the city until the following spring. Sent north, it suffered severely at Shiloh, where its conduct was highly commended by Generals Withers and Chalmers. It then returned to Mobile, and was used in the defenses until the fall of the city. Lieuts. James H. Hill and James T. Hutchisson were promoted, and commanded the battery at different times.
