Alexander was killed Oct. 5, 1861 in Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY. His sister, Paralee Johnson, was married to Randle M. Warren, who was also killed on the same date. Therefore she lost her brother and her husband on the same day. However, I believe that Paralee had already died in childbirth earlier that year or the year before.

My gr. grandfather James Calvin Hutchison was from Hickman co. Tenn. and enlisted when he was 17 years old, and was discharged when they found out, and then enlisted again as soon as he turned 18 years old. If anyone has any information on him or this unit please email me. Thanks so much.

Civil War records show that he enlisted from Hickman Co.,Tn. 24 August 1861at Camp Trousdale as a private in Co. I, 24th Tn. Infantry and served until he took the oath of allegiance 24 January 1865. Remark is made that he deserted 22 Dec. 1864 but obviously returned.
