I'm not sure how or when Seaborn's dad John R Waldrop died yet, 13th Alabama Infantry Regiment > Company K .

he may have died on the way to Virginia, or in Virginia, in 1861.

Place of Enlistment - County: Randolph Alabama age 42.

this is an ancestry.com link, Alabama Civil War Muster Rolls, 1861-1865 Record for John R Waldrop.
