Harold --

A parole appears with Hardie's Alabama Reserve Cavalry Battn, Co B. It shows that a man listed as William McCarda came into Talladega and signed a parole on May 20, 1865. Capt B O Ramey reported 50 horses in his company at Blue Mountain AL, Aug 14, 1864.

No other wartime record of service.
Since this man was older (age 41 in 1862), he is much more likely to have service in the state reserves.

There is a service file for James P McCurdy, Co "G", 42nd Alabama Regt. This man was younger (age twenty in 1862) and more likely to have served. He was paroled at Vicksburg MS and captured on Lookout Mtn TN, Nov 24, 1863. After going to prison, he enrolled in U S frontier service.
