Surnames: Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DU.2ADE/221.4.2 Message Board Post: The muster roll for this company is located at ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/wilcox/military/wilcoxfarmer.txt It shows no Smith in the ranks. However I checked the National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System (CWSS) at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ for James C. Smith and found five in the following CSA Infantry Regiments: 9th Regiment, Alabama Infantry 10th Regiment, Alabama Infantry 19th Regiment, Alabama Infantry 38th Regiment, Alabama Infantry 57th Regiment, Alabama Infantry The one in the 38th was in Company A. The muster roll for that company is at http://www.mindspring.com/~mccabe/38thAla/38thAlaA.htm It shows J.C. Smith joined in Clarke County at the age of 33. The muster roll date and location is given as June 12, 1862 at Camp Holt near Mobile, Alabama. For Smith's full military record, go to your local public library's genealogy department and look on microfilm M374 roll 41.
