Clement A., ed. Confederate Military History. Confederate Publishing Company, 1899. VIII:636. " This regiment was organized at Pensacola in February, 1862, by the addition of two companies to the Fourth Alabama battalion – a body of eight companies, which had been organized the autumn before at Montgomery. The regiment remained at Pensacola till it was evacuated, suffering much from diseases that usually afflict raw troops. It then lay between Pollard and Pensacola for over a year, when it was ordered to Mobile, and there remained from July 1863 to April 1864, save a short time that it was at Pollard. The regiment then joined the Army of Tennessee at Resaca, in time to initiate the Atlanta-Dalton campaign, and was brigaded with the First, Seventeenth, and Twenty-sixth Alabama, and Thirty-seventh Mississippi regiments, commanded at different intervals by Col. Murphey of Montgomery, Gen. O'Neal of Lauderdale, and Gen. Shelley of Talladega. The Twenty-ninth was engaged at the battle of Resaca with a loss of about 100 killed and wounded, out of 1100 men engaged. At New Hope the loss was very heavy, and at Peach-tree Creek the regiment was cut to pieces. Again, July 28, near Atlanta, half of the regiment were killed and wounded in the fierce and protracted assault on the enemys line. The twenty-ninth then moved into Tennessee with Gen. Hood, and lost very heavily in casualties at Franklin, and largely in casualties and prisoners at Nashville. A remnant of it moved into the Carolinas, and was engaged at Kinston and Bentonville with considerable loss. About 90 men surrendered at Greensboro, N.C. " Was wounded on one finger during the battle of Atlanta, Ga. That finger was curled until a mule ran away with him in Alabama and in the process of trying to hold back on reins, his finger was straightened. May 22, 1865, Paroled at Talladega, Ala, by Brig Gen M H Chrysler Some time after the Civil War John moved to Missippi and married Martha Harding. Martha died in about 1879 and her mother cared for the four children until John and the children moved back to Clay County Alabama, a year or so later. John lived with his oldest son William until his death. Was given a pension due to his military service for the Confederacy. Uncle Pat – 2002
