Very well could be he was in the 53rd Alabama Partisan Rangers. I had 6 relatives from the Wise family, my 3rd gen great-grandfather Isaiah Boles and uncle Jasper Boles were in the 53rd and then 3 other uncles from the Sanders and Phillips family in the 53rd. This document that I have throws me off though. The 53rd went to the end of the war pretty much unless he left it after a short time and joined the 25th.

THE TWENTY-FIFTH ALABAMA INFANTRY.
This regiment, made up of Loomis' and McClellan's battalions, was
organized at Mobile, December, 1861.
It was engaged at Shiloh, April 6th and 7th, at Farmington, May
9th, and at Bridge creek, May 28th and 29th. A1though with
General Bragg in Kentucky, it did not take part in any serious
action.
At Murfreesboro, December 31st to January 2, 1863, it was
distinguished and suffered severe losses in both officers and
men. It was at Chickamauga, September 19th to 20th, and at
Missionary Ridge, November 23 to 25, 1863; fought with Johnston
in the Georgia campaign in 1864, and was particularly noted for
its brilliant record at New Hope, May 25th to June 4th,
especially in the battle of the 25th.
In Hood's first sortie from Atlanta, July 22nd, and the second
sortie at Ezra Chapel, July 28th, the regiment lost half its
force. It was engaged in the battles at Columbia, November 29th;
at Franklin, November 30th, and at Nashville, December 15th to
16th.
Fought at Kinston, March 14th, and Bentonville, N. C., March 19
and 21, 1865. It was consolidated about April 9th with the
Twenty-second, Thirty- ninth and Fiftieth Alabama under Colonel
Toulmin, and was surrendered at Greensboro, N. C.
Among its killed and wounded were Captain Harper, who fell at
Shiloh; Capts. Archibald A. Patterson an D. P. Costello, and
Lieuts. W. C. Gibson and H. B. Schofield, who were killed at
Murfreesboro.
Its commanders were Cols. John Q. Loomis and George D. Johnston,
afterward brigadier-general, and Lieut.Col. William B. McClellan.
Maj. Daniel E. Huger, at one time in command, was killed at
Chickamauga while serving as assistant inspector-general on
General Manigault's staff.

Shiloh after battle report:
Report of Col. J. Q. Loomis, Twenty-fifth Alabama Infantry.
CORINTH, MISS., April 13, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the annexed report of the losses
sustained by the Twenty-fifth Alabama Regt. in the battle of the 6th
and 7th instant.
Owing to the prevalence of the measles and mumps I was able to take
but 305 men into the action. Of this number-were lost in killed and
wounded.
This regiment formed a part of the First Brigade, Withers' division,
under command of Gen. Gladden.
This report not being intended as a eulogy on the regiment, I will only
say it did its duty, fighting side by side with the other regiments of the
brigade, charging promptly when ordered and in good order, and only
falling back when commanded. With the brigade, it was engaged in
every charge and attack on the 6th, and on the 7th, the brigade being
disorganized, the regiment fell in with a Missouri regiment and fought
until the conclusion of the engagement.
I remained in command of the regiment until 4 o'clock on the 6th,
assisted greatly by my major, George D. Johnston, and Adjutant Stout,
whose coolness and intrepidity upon the field are worthy of all praise.
About 4 o'clock I received a wound upon the head from a musketball,
doing very slight external injury, but producing a concussion of the
brain and rendering me unfit for commanding during the rest of the
engagement. Maj. Johnston then took command and led the regiment
gallantly through the fight.
Three stands of colors were captured from the enemy; one was
presented by Maj. Johnston to Gen. Hardee upon the field, the other
two were thoughtlessly torn up by the men and taken as mementos of
the battle.
The officers, most of them, bore themselves gallantly upon the field.
Capt. Pierre D. Costello and Lieuts. P. H. Smith and Thomas G. Slaughter
deserve especial mention. Sergeant Scofield captured two flags, and
Private Vann was the first at a battery, and took the color-bearer's
horse. Numbers of such incidents might be mentioned if necessary, but
all did well. A noble rivalry existed as to who should do most, and the
whole brigade acquitted themselves as men should who were fighting for
their homes and firesides.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. Q. LOOMIS,
Col., Twenty-fifth Alabama Regt., Provisional Army.

Chickamagua after battle report:
Report of Col. George D. Johnston, Twenty-fifth Alabama
Infantry.
HDQRS. TWENTY-FIFTH ALABAMA REGT.,
In Front of Chattanooga, Tenn., October 6, 1863.
SIR:I have the honor to submit the following as my report of the
part borne by the Twenty-fifth Alabama Regt. in the battle of
Chickamauga:
The regiment went into the engagement with the brigade (Gen.
Deas') of which it is a part, continued in its place with the same
during the entire action, bearing its share of the duty and danger.
It bore itself to my satisfaction. Where there was such general
good conduct, with but few exceptions, it is hard to discriminate
and particularize. I shall refrain from it.
The regiment carried into the engagement about 330
officers and men. Its loss was: Killed, 1 officer, 14 men;
wounded, 5 officers, 90 men; missing, 2 men. Total killed,
wounded, and missing, 6 officers, 106 men.
Very respectfully,
GEO. D. JOHNSTON,
Col., Comdg. Regt.
Capt. E. F. TRAVIS,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.

Report of Capt. Napoleon B. Rouse, Twenty-fifth Alabama Infantry,
of operations July 22 and 28.
IN THE FIELD, August 1, 1864.
CAPT.: On the 22d [July] the regiment with the brigade upon
the front line advanced to the attack, with orders to keep the left flank
within twenty paces of the railroad (Augusta), but owing to buildings,
impassable fences, and slight curves of the road, when the regiment
arrived at the breast-works of the picket reserve of the enemy
the left was about 150 yards from the railroad. The works were
carried at a heavy loss to the left wing of the regiment, as there
were no troops between our left and the railroad, and the fire received
being both from the front and oblique. Two elegant stand
of colors and a large number of prisoners captured. The regiment
continued the advance some distance farther and halted, reformed,
and [was] placed in the second line with the balance of the brigade.
It then advanced again and assisted in carrying the second line of
works.
Carried into the fight, 273 men. Killed, wounded, and missing,
113, including 2 color-bearers.
On the 28th the regiment with the brigade having commenced
the advance, after passing the road in its front and getting into the
field beyond the road, was halted, lines rectified, and again moved
forward. With the exception of the two left companies, the regiment
had to advance through dense woods and undergrowth almost
an abatis by nature. It succeeded in getting within about fifty or
sixty yards of the enemy's works, when the left commenced giving
way, and a general giving way of the lines commenced in some confusion.
The regiment was reformed with the brigade as soon as
could be done, and went forward with the brigade, taking part in
all that the rest of the brigade was ordered to do.
Carried into the fight, 173 men. Killed, wounded, and missing,
23, including 2 color-bearers.
