Teresa,

I checked the solders and sailors system and found one that might be your George Murphree.

George B. Murphree 29th Alabama Infantry Company F.
He is listed as a private then later a corporal.

It also states that parts of the 29th were from Blount Co. AL.

Here is the address to the site.

I hope this will help you,
