Sounds like a winner to me! Captain Thomas L. Faulkner's "Autauga Guards" served as Co. "G", Blythe's Mississippi Infantry Battalion. That unit may have enlisted at Autaugaville; I believe Barry has access to the original muster roll in one of his books.

Being able to to claim an ancestor who served in Blythe's Mississippi Battalion would be great -- that command fought Grant at Belmont KY and opened the battle of Shiloh.

Here's a link to Stephen Barber's wonderful Shelby County site which discusses the history of the "Autauga Guards", and another which mentions death notices for members of that company.

Here's a regimental history for Blythe's command:
