Roll
of "The Lauderdale Rifles," Co. D 9th
Ala Infantry C.S.A., From Thomas M. Owen, Nov.
4, 1901, compiled by J. R. Cannon, McKensie, Tenn.
Alabama Department of Archives & History |
Company
"D" 9th Regiment Alabama Infantry
"Lauderdale Rifles"
27 May 1861 - June 1865
This
a portion of a document compiled in 1901 listing
the men of the regiment and their duty status
at battles the unit was engaged in during
the Civil War. The original sources
are not indicated on the document; however,
it is probably from interviews with surviving
members and muster rolls from 1861 through
1865. I underlined number 74, Philip
W. Whitsett, Pvt., who enlisted on May 27,
1861 at Oakland, Lauderdale County.
He was eighteen years of age and unmarried.
The roll lists his post office as Oakland
but I believe this is a mistake. It should
be Waterloo.
The
page (on the left) shows status at: the Siege
of Yorktown, April, 1862; Williamsburg, May
1862; Seven Pines, June 1862; Gaines Mill,
27 June 1862; Frazier's Farm, 30 June, 1862;
Manassas 2 (second Manassas), August 1862.
I assume there is at least one other page
showing the battles from Gettysburg until
the unit's surrender in 1865. The 9th
Regiment of Alabama Infantry was attached
to General Robert E. Lee's Army of Virginia.
