February 14, 2000 Dea Dianne: I have Alex Chavis as being in the 26th SCV Inf Regt., Co. "D". Also, a big bunch of other Chavis surnames. It looks like he made through the War but is not on the Appomattox Surrender roster so he must have been captured, probably during the retreat from Petersburg. I'd encourage you to look-up his name on the HCHS pension list and if there get his pension ap and papers from the SC Dept of Archives and History in Columbia which are usually very helpful with genealogically related data and his Compiled Service Record from Columbia or the National Archives for more details.
