This is my maternal grandfather's uncle.

Only one card is on file for James and it states that the died in Georgia. We do not know his company. He was 42 years old. and is buried at Greensboro, Hale Co. Alabama

I have found out the Edward was in the War three different times and was a captior twice. He also signe a paper witht the North with a x because it did not mean anything to him. He could read and write very well. He enlisted at Oak Hill Alabama and filed for his pension in Etowah County. Born 1840 Died 1919
