Isaac was born about 1826 in Georgia. He has 4 cards in his archival file. In 1860 he is 32 years old married and living in Coosa Co. Ala. I do not have a date of enlistment. There is another soldier with the same name in DeKalb County Georgia whose archival records are comingled with his.
Family history has it that Isaac died in the battle of Chattanooga in 1863. His body is likely buried there in a mass grave.
Isaac's wife filed for pension #31355 and it was granted.
I will update this if more data becomes available.

John S. Hood, the oldest son of Captain Stephen R. Hood, enlisted in the 22nd Alabama Infantry, Company D (Cherokee Beauregards) in 1861. He was 16 years old. His unit was based in Mobile in 1861 and early 1862 and then sent to Corinth, Mississippi where it joined Gladden's Brigade. The the 22nd Alabama then participated in the bloody Battle of Shiloh with very heavy loss. Private Hood was seriously wounded at Shiloh on April 6, 1862, but was evacuated to Corinth and later to a Confederate hospital in Macon, Mississippi. He died there in early June 1862 and was buried in the Noxubee Cemetery near Macon. John Hood was my great great uncle.
