married Angelina Boyd in Limestone, Co. AL in 1857
Lived in Lauderdale Co. AL at outbreak of Civil War (Gravely Springs, AL) This is the NW corner of AL on the TN line.

He was was a private in Co. C 27th Alabama Infantry, taken prisoner at Ft. Henry/Ft. Donelson TN and died in POW camp in Chicago, IL (Camp Douglas) in 1863

I am looking for his parents and siblings.

Is it possible that one of these men might have been his brother?
