My grandmother said that her father, John Wesley Ball, was Regimental Color Sergeant of the 31st Tennessee. Since this was an honorary rank, it is not part of the official record. If anyone has any information that would confirm this, we would appreciate hearing from you.

Hiram 'Hy' made it until May of 1864 where he died of pneumonia in Atlanta at Fairgound Hospital #2. He was Presbyterian and carried an Enfield Rifle. His father was a tobacco farmer in Gibson Co. Tennessee. 4 brothers fought for the CSA from his family and only one of the four survived the war. Hy is buried in Atlanta with a Confederate headstone. Deo Vindice.

John joined the CSA infantry at age 19 with his older brother, Hy, who was age 25. Another brother, Leroy, stayed at home to fight with the local militia. A younger brother, Green McAliley, joined the Cavalry in 1863 at age 18. Poor John died of disease within 2 months of joining. Hy survived many a battle and died in Atlanta in May of 1864. The date of Green's death is unknown with the 14th Tenn. Cav. Leroy lived a long life as a medical doctor in Gibson County, Tennessee. Deo Vindice.
