Hi all! I am looking for a "good Samaritan" who will lend some help my way. I am trying to find some information on the Memphis Southern Guards and the 154th or Senior Regiment of the State of Tennessee. My gg-grandfather, according to an obituary, states that he volunteered in the Confederate Service in the Memphis Southern Guards and was later promoted to the rank of Adjutant of the old 154th or Senior Regiment of the State of Tennessee. Would the Tennessee State Archives be able to give me any information on this? Would either of these two units have any connection with the Alabama Calvary? His obituary states that he served with these two units. However, his grave marker (he is buried in the Confederate Section of the Metairie Cemetery in Metairie, LA) states he served with the Alabama Calvary. The Confederate Section was a chapter of the Army of Tennessee and apparently all of the survivors of the Civil War who lived in the New Orleans area and who died later are buried there. Can anyone explain why there is conflicting information? I was trying to decide whether I needed to request information from the archives in Tennessee or the archives in Alabama. If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you, Genie GGibbs@prodigy.net
