Re: 30th Alabama Infantry
In Response To: 30th Alabama Infantry ()

This is a very useful list. It's intersting to compare the "Watchtower" data to that on file at the ADAH and what appears in the 30th Alabama microfilm:

30th REGIMENT ALABAMA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY

This regiment organized at Camp Curry near Talladega, Alabama, on March 28, 1862, officers and men enlisting for three years or the war. Officially designated the 30th Alabama Infantry Regiment in early May of 1862, staff appointments in Shelley’s command remained incomplete until May 27, 1862.

Colonel Charles Miller Shelley

Lieutenant Colonel Taul Bradford

Major John B. Smith

Surgeon William C. Patterson

Assistant Surgeon C. H. Gorman

Commissary James A. Storey

Quartermaster Euclid Johnson

Adjutant James E. Shelley

Company “A” of Talladega County, Capt. William C. Patterson
Company “B” of Calhoun County, Capt. John C. Francis
Company “C” of Talladega County, Capt. David M. Anderson
Company “D” of Shelby County, Capt. Charles G. Samuel
Company “E” of Calhoun County, Capt. Henry McBee
Company “F” of Talladega County, Capt. John Sawyer
Company “G” of Randolph County, Capt. William T. Wood
Company “H” of Saint Clair County, Capt. Edward P. Woodward
Company “I” of Talladega County, Capt. Thomas H. Patterson
Company “K” of Shelby and Jefferson County, Capt. W. M. M. Lee

It's interesting to note some of the interim appointments as well as the differences in company letter designations. Letter designations were important because they helped to establish seniority when it came time for promotions.
