Although I can't be sure, I believe A. Gaines of the Crescent Regiment may be the same man as Alonzo. They both resided in New Orleans, both were discharged for medical reasons and I have found quite a few Crescent soldiers who for one reason or another transferred into the 5th Co W.A. There is a full year between the first discharge and the enlistment in the W.A. (possibly for recuperation).
