Re: The Five Milling Brothers of Perry County Al

I find no photos of these men, chances of any are rather remote there are any. Of any repositiory that would hold any would be the U. S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle Barracks, Pa., they do not hold any of men of the 20th Alabama.

It seems we have two families represented here.

Jos. C. Milling enlisted as a Private in (Pickering's) Company A, 20th Alabama Infantry, February 12, 1863 at Plantersville, Mary Milling filed claim for his effects June 13, 1863, no indication of date of death

Robert R. Milling, 35 year old Farmer, Private, Company A, 20th Alabama Infantry, enlisted February 13, 1863 in Perry County, Ala., discharged due to disability April 11, 1863, born in Perry County

William A. Milling enlisted as a Private in Company B, 20th Alabama Infantry, died at Knoxville**, Tennessee Mary 23, 1862, substitute for George W. Milling, Robert Milling, father, filed claim for his effects March 18/September 9, 1863

Thomas J. Milling enlisted as a Private in Company B, 20th Alabama Infantry September 11, 1861 at Selma, left sick in camp at Knoxville April 27, 1862, died of disease July 10, 1862 at Rutledge, Tennessee, his father Robert Milling filed claim for his effects March 18/September 9, 1863

The only other Milling men of Alabama were:

George W. Milling

Enlisted on 3/24/1862 as a Private.
On 3/24/1862 he mustered into "I" Co. AL 28th Infantry
He died of disease on 5/21/1862 at Macon, MS
(Died of typhoid fever)

- Those Gallant Men of 28th Alabama

I do not find a record for him in the roster of the 28th. I believe the above citation to be in error and that this is George W. of the 20th.

J Milling, Private, Company G, 15th Alabama Infantry, admitted to Howard's Grove General Hospital, Richmond, Virginia May 27, 1864, no other records

The Fifteenth Alabama infantry was organized at Fort Mitchell in 1861

..........

Robert B. Milling, Private, Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Ala., name appears on a Receipt Roll for "Commutation of Rations," for one day, September 5, 1862, signed as Robert B. Millig, no other record
