Company C
Alfred Edmund Brady
- Sergeant
My great grandfather, Alfred Edmund Brady, son of Cornelius Brady (1801-1877) and Elizabeth Owen, was born 28 November 1844 in Aston, Warwickshire, England and, against his parents wishes, emigrated from there to the United States- arriving aboard the packet ship 'UNDERWRITER' on 4 February 1861 at Castle Garden, Manhattan Island, New York, as a 16 year old boy- alone and with no family in this country. Four months later, on 8 June 1861, he was mustered in the Union army at Pendleton, Ohio, as a private, sent to camp Clay, Ohio, for training- and assigned to Company C 1st Kentucky Infantry Regiment. He remained with this same unit during all it's engagements in western Virginia (later, aka West Virginia), Kentucky and Tennessee. On 7 April 1862, he was wounded at the battle of Shiloh (Pittsburg Landing). The siege of Corinth followed in May. While near Athens, Limestone county, Alabama, in June 1862-- and for reasons unknown, he decided to take up the Confederate cause and joined James C. Malone's 14th Cavalry Battalion Partisan Rangers. On 15 April 1863, this unit was merged with Zachariah Thomason's 19th Cavalry Battalion Partisan Rangers to form the 7th Alabama Cavalry Regiment. On 15 September 1864, because there was also another 7th Alabama (Hodgson's) Cavalry Regiment, this 7th Regiment was redesignated as the 9th Alabama (Malone's) Cavalry Regiment- and remained unchanged for the duration of the war (also confusing, is that there was also another 9th Alabama (Livingston's) Cavalry Regiment),- continuing to fight in many battles- through Bentonville and the final surrender in North Carolina on 26 April 1865. Alfred E. Brady was serving as an Orderly Sergeant in Company C 9th Alabama Cavalry at war's end- and according to family history, never took a parole. He was wounded on at least 3 occasions- once quite seriously. In July 1865, he married Mary Josephine 'Mollie' Hollingsworth of Gadsden, Cherokee county, Alabama, who earlier had cared for his wounds in the home of her father, Thomas Hollingsworth. He was discharged at Oxford, Alabama, in October 1865. In 1867, they moved to Fayetteville (aka Lick Skillet), Fayette county, Texas, then several years later--to Maysfield, Milam county, Texas, where she later died in 1884. During their marriage, they had 8 children together. After her death, he remarried to widow Sarah Elizabeth Heifner (nee Thompson) and they also had 8 children together. A.E. Brady died on 20 November 1922 and is buried at Oak Hill cemetery in Cameron, Milam county, Texas. I am descended from his first marriage- through his daughter, Ida Lillian Brady (1874-1965)- through her son, Edmond Vincent Cole (1907- 1974).
