References & notes
His service from the State of Alabama.1 He's also on a casualty list in the Montgomery Weekly Advertiser of 8 October 1862 as missing at Sharpsburg. Personal details from family genealogists, one of whom has his birth year as 1843; I hope that's accurate, rather than 1848. His gravesite is on Findagrave.
