I do know that William Colon Sweat was in Hilliard's Legion, out of Montogomery, Al. but without my records I can't remember what company. I have a copy of his military records. But not a very good one. The original wasn't very good so I guess I should be thankful for what I have. I also have W. C. in the 1850, 1855, 1860 Montgomery, Al census records - which lists a son in the house named Samuel - He must have went to war with his father, because he dissappeared from the census records when his father did. It wasn't unusual for young men in the 10 - 14 year old bracket to go to load and unload guns and to help carry supplies. The only thing I am sure of, is that in the state & federal census for 1865 and 1870 - is that he was not in the census any more. Just Mary A.L. and the girls. I live in Lake City, Florida and am visiting my children in Colorado. When I get home I will check th! ru what I have and see if there is anything you might be interested in - I am always ready to share what I have with a relative. Send me your e-mail address or regular address to smithgriner@yahoo.com and what you need for me to look for.
