a. Note:   Fifty-Seventh Alabama Infantry Regiment http://www.archives.state.al.us/referenc/alamilor/mil_org.html
  This regiment was organized at Troy, in Pike, March 1863, as part of the brigade of Gen. Clanton of Montgomery. It was stationed at Mobile and Pollard till January 1864, when it moved to Demopolis. Brigaded there under Gen. Buford, (soon succeeded by Gen. Scott) with the Twelfth Louisiana, Twenty-seventh, Thirty-fifth, and Fifty-fifth Alabama and a Louisiana regiment, the Fifty-seventh joined the Army of the Tennessee in time to share fully the hardships of the Dalton-Atlanta campaign. The casualties of the regiment, however, were not severe till the battle of Peach-tree Creek, when it was cut to pieces. The Fifty-seventh participated in the movement into Tennessee, and at Franklin and Nashville its losses were again very large. Transferred to North Carolina, the regiment fought at Bentonville with severe loss. Its colors were there folded when the army was disbanded. ______________________________________ Regimental History THE FIFTY-SEVENTH ALABAMA INFANTRY Ancestry.com

  NameRankEnlistedEnlisted Date & Other Information WOODHAM, William E PvtDale9-14-63, captured Macon Ga 4/20 or 21-65 _____________________________________ This letter was written by William Edward Woodham to his wife Elizabeth Ann Kelly Woodham. From information in the letter, it was obviously written July 10, 1864 during the Battle of Atlanta. The Union troops crossed the Chattahoochee River July 8, 1864. I have transcribed the letter as written, with no corrections for spelling. I have included the correct word in brackets where it is needed for clarity. William mentions John and Jarred both are sons by his first wife Mary Ann Martha Segars. Jarred was killed in the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. George and Lanorah were Williams youngest children at that time. George was about eight months old.The original letter is in the possession of Brannan D Woodham, great grandson of William Edward Woodham. I have scanned the letter and will be happy to share this upon request.
