I found a Samuel Grisham in Clarkson's Battalion Cavalry CSA and looking it up found that there are compiled service records supposedly for this unit at NARA. Elsewhere they are listed as from Missouri. Clarkson’s Missouri Cavalry Battalion, Independent Rangers, Col. James J. Clarkson (Merged into 9th [Clark’s] Missouri Infantry Regiment) This is apparently not your man. But for what it is worth here is the information: The websites that listed this unit are: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/military/civil/archives.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mocivwar/confederates.html http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm M258. 123 rolls. 16mm.

Moreland's Alabama Cavalry Battalion beginning in the Fall of 1862, and I suspect continued serving in Roddy's 4th Alabama Cavalry Reg't until the end of the War, as he was mustered out in Iuka, MS in the Spring of 1865, according to his widow's Conferate pension application in Tishomingo County, MS in 1910.
