My notes indicate a Pvt. James O. Smith does appear on Microfilm roll M376 in Co. A of the 38th but with only a reference envelope with his name;however upon further examination the original handwritten muster roll of June 12, 1863 does show a J. C. Smith age 33. This would have him born in 1830. Most public LIbraries don't have the microfilm rolls of Ala. servicemen, only Birmingham or the state Archives and Wallace College in Hanceville, AL.
