In Response To: Re: Co D 14th ALA Infantry ()

In 1861, Company D 14th Alabama Infantry Regiment was commanded by Captain James A. Broome. Many records erroneously indicate the last name was Brown or Browne, which is incorrect.

H. [Possibly James Henry] Pinckard, Private, Company D, was with the 14th Alabama when they surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. (Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume XV, 1887). Marshall B. Hurst also identifies him as H. Pinckard.

J. P. Pinckard, Private, Company D was wounded on June 27, 1862 at the Battle of Gaines Mill, Virginia. (History of the 14th Alabama Regiment of Alabama Volunteers, by Marshall B. Hurst)

J. R. [Possibly John P.] Pinckard, Private, Company D, was with the 14th Alabama when they surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. (Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume XV, 1887)

William H. Pinckard, Company D, was killed on May 12, 1864 at Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia. (Final Statement by 2nd Lieutenant H. M. Burns, Company Commander on December 1, 1864 at Petersburg, Virginia. (Alabama Department of Archives and History) The 14th Alabama counterattacked into the Mule Shoe/Bloody Angle early on the morning of May 12, 1864.

Lucius Pinckard was from Tuskegee, Alabama. J. H. and J. P. Pinckard were from Chambers County, Alabama. William H. Pinckard enlisted at West Point, Georgia in 1864, county of origin not given.

There is confusion about when Lucius Pinckard was actually promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel. Different references provide different dates.

Thomas C. Pinckard, was the Regimental Ordnance Sergeant and later Regimental Ordnance Officer of the 14th Alabama.

I am researching the 14th Alabama Infantry Regiment and am willing to exchange information with you. Please contact me directly at ddwhite14040@verizon.net.
