Re: John Harlow, 22nd AL Infantry

There are no Company H muster rolls in the records of the 22nd Alabama, only a few miscellaneous papers. Your John Harlow may be one or all of these. Transcription of names in old CW documents were difficult. I do not find a Harlow in the index.

22nd Regiment, Alabama Infantry

22nd Infantry Regiment completed its organization at Montogmery, Alabama, in November, 1861, then moved to Mobile. Its companies were raised in the counties of Walker, Clarke, Cherokee, Mobile, Pike, Choctaw, Montgomery, Calhoun, and Randolph. The unit suffered severe losses at Shiloh under General Gladden, then saw action in Bragg's Kentucky Campaign under General Gardner. Later the 22nd was attached to Deas', G.D. Johnston's, and Brantley's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. It fought in many conflicts from Murfreesboro to Atlanta, was part of General Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and ended the war in North Carolina. After the Battle of Shiloh, the regiment reported only 123 men fit for duty. It sustained 94 casualties at Murfreesboro, and lost fifty-three percent of the 371 engaged at Chickamauga. In December, 1863, it totalled 272 men and 171 arms. It reported 5 killed and 35 wounded in the fight at Ezra Church; many were also disabled at Franklin and Nashville. The regiment was included in the surrender on April 26, 1865. Its field officers were Colonels Zach C. Deas, B.R. Hart, John C. Marrast, and Harry T. Houlmin; Lieutenant Colonels E. Herbert Armistead, Napoleon B. Rouse, and John Weedon; and Majors Robert B. Armistead, Robert Donnell, and T.M. Prince.

THE TWENTY-SECOND ALABAMA INFANTRY.

This regiment was organized at Montgomery, November, 1861, and
armed by private enterprise.

16, 1862; at Perryville, October 8th, and at Murfreesboro,
December 31 to January 2, 1863.

It took a very brilliant part in the impetuous assault on
Rosecrans' army at Chickamauga, September 20th, and suffered
severely, losing almost two-thirds of its forces, the killed

consolidated with the Twenty- fifth, Thirty-ninth and Fiftieth,

glorious record. Capt. Abner C. Gaines was killed, and Maj. R.
B. Armistead mortally wounded, at Shiloh.
