Homer, Thank you for this great information. It sure explains the absence of Eli English who purchased land in Covington Co. in 1858. Of the others listed, only James B. is a mystery but it provides another piece of the puzzle to think about. Thanks again, Barbara Its sort of difficult to figure ot who was from where, but will provide those of the almost three dozen who served from Ala that I feel are from our area. James W., Pvt, Co K, 5th Ala; Coffee County; resided at Elba in 1907; Co K was a Barbour company. Eli, Corp, Co K, 33d Ala; Coffee; d. as POW Camp Chase Jan 4, 1865. James B., Pvt, Co D, 33d Ala; I think Butler; d. of diarrhea Dalton, Ga; widow Nancy A.J. filed claim for property. William H., Pvt, Co L, 6th Ala; most likely from then Henry, now Houston. Sampson, Pvt, Co B, 51st Ala Cav; probably from then Barbour, now Bullock; survived the war. Sorry I could not do more, but these old fellers hopped-around a bit when they enlisted, which makes tracking them most difficult at times. Deo Vindice, Homer >>
