Did you say, 3rd Alabama Cavalry, Company B? Would that have any connection to the original Co.B of the 3rd Cav ? Would be interesting to learn about this. My gt.gt.grandfather served in Company B, which was comprised of almost solely men from Monroe County. They were “The Monroe Blues”.
If this is the case, I would welcome any info on this company. I do have many notes on them I took in the reference section of the Huntsville Library, from a small book written by Ray Nelson. Initially forming as a part of Wirt Adam’s Mississippi Cavalry ( Woods ), they later became a part of Gen.Wheeler’s campaigns as the 3rd Alabama Cavalry, Co. B.
Here’s my ancestor:
