On Saturday, April 15th, 2000 there will a historic highway marker dedication ceremony in Morrisville, North Carolina. The marker commemorates the Battle of Morrisville which took place on April 13th, 1865. Several Alabama units were involved: 51st Ala. Partisan Rangers, 1st, 3rd, 9th, and 12th Ala. Cavalry. Company F of the 3rd Alabama, in particular, was from Dallas County. In Live Oak Cemetery there is a marker dedicated to soldiers killed in some of these late war battles. If you are interested in this event or are interested in these units, please feel free to send me email or check out my website: www.mindspring.com/~nixnox Thanks, Ernest Dollar
