CONFEDERATE ALABAMA TROOPS 13th Regiment, Alabama Infantry 13th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in July, 1861, at Montgomery, Alabama. Men of this unit were from the counties of Coosa, Wilcox, Macon, Butler, Talladega, Montgomery, Randolph, Elmore, and Tallapoosa. Ordered to Virginia, it served under General Rains at Yorktown, and in April, 1862, contained 474 effectives. Later the 13th was assigned to General Colquitt's, Archer's, Sanders', and W.H. Forney's Brigade, Army of the Northern Virginia. It participated in many conflicts from [1]Williamsburg to [2]Cold Harbor, then fought in the long [3]Petersburg siege south of the James River and the campaign that ended at [4]Appomattox. This regiment reported 52 casualties at [5]Seven Pines, 101 during the Seven Days' Battles, and 140 at [6]Chancellorsville. Of the 308 engaged at [7]Gettysburg, over half were disabled. It surrendered with 6 officers and 85 men on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels James Aiken and B.D. Fry; Lieutenant Colonels William H. Betts, R.H. Dawson, S.B. Marks, and Julius C.B.

It has been in storage since then. It is entitled 13TH ALABAMA VOLUNTEERS COMPANY K E.B. Smith Captain, resigned Feb. 1863 J.M.K. Cluinn, 1st L.T., wounded June 27 1862 - promoted Captain March 1863. It goes on to tell where the men were killed or discharged. It says "Jackson Pate, died at Richmond". Someone who understands how this works needs to look up this Regiment and see if there is more to this. I can't find anything about them. There are three pages of names but I am interested in Jackson Pate. At the very end it says "Company K, 13th Alabama Volunteers" Revised and Corrected January 1st, 1894 by J.M.K. Guinn (the newly promoted Captain. I found it at www.fred.net/stevent/13AL/13alcok.html . It no longer works."-END In my OPINION this man was Jackson Aaron Pate born about 1840 in Fayette Co, GA to John Pate and Barbara Kite. This family was enumerated: * [John Pate md Barbara Kite 23 Jun 1836 Fayette Co] * [See Census 1850 Fayette Co GA ** * [See Census 1860 Randolph Co AL]* * [See Census 1870 Walker Co AL]* * [See Census 1880 Lafayette Co TN] * ** Jackson Pate was named in the 1850 Fayette Co GA Census as Jackson Pate age 10 and in the 1860 Randolph Co AL as J A Pate age 20. I would speculate (guess) that he was given the middle name - Aaron - from his uncle Aaron Pate. The 13th AL Infantry was principally recruited from Randolph and Chambers Counties in AL. I do not have immediate access to a regimental history for this unit, but I think they were attached to the ANVA and deployed in North Virginia. There is a service card in the microfilm copy of the Consolidated Confederate Service Card Index in the state Library and Archives in Tallahassee, FL for:- *"JACKSON A. PATE* *COMPANY K, 13TH ALABAMA INFANTRY REGIMENT. Died at Richmond"* He probably died of disease in a Confederate hospital in or near Richmond. Service cards were generally noted "killed in action" or "wounded in battle, died" I have found no evidence that he left a Will or that he was married.
