Pvt. Thaxton hailed from Guntersville, Marshall County, Alabama. He enlisted on January 13th, 1862 at Camp Johnson near Nashville, TN. He was married to Mary Cryar and they had one child, a daughter named Alice. Pvt. Thaxton's wife was notified of his death via a letter dated January 10th, 1863 titled 'General Hospital-Governor's Mansion', Jackson, MS. He was 24 years old. This information is detailed in a letter from Dr. R.N. Anderson dated June 11th, 1863 confirming his death to his family back in Alabama. In April, 2010 the family of Pvt.

Chapman was he son of Charles Stewart (Clouds Cove)

Daniel joined at New Hope at the same time as John, David and Chapman Stewart (connection unknown).

David joined at New Hope with his brother John and his cousin Chapman. John and David were orphans, raised by their uncles, John, Charles & Chapman Stewart of Clouds Cove in Southern Madison Co.

John joined at New Hope/Vienna in Southern Madison Co., along with his brother David and cousin Chapman. There was also a Daniel Stewart, but I have not learned of his connection as of yet. He was paroled at Port Hudson and when released the men had to walk home. It is said that he was in such bad health when he arrived home to Clouds Cove, that it was years before he regained his health.

James William Branham lived in Blount County, Alabama, at the beginning of the war. He was born in 1849, therefore was only 13 when he ran away from home and joined the Confederate Army. He returned to Blount County after the war where he died in 1926.
