From the "Lest We Forget Roster"; These are my listings for the Albrittons in the 7th Regt. Miss. Inf.

Albritton, Henry H. died at Rome GA. of disease 11-17-63 (see Albirtton) (See also MM. Albritton wounded at Munfordville, KY-Could be transcription error MM vs HH; see also J. M. Albritton record) Per national Archives casualty report: “ Severely wounded at 8AM, On the hill south of the fort & on the right of the R.Road, Marching by right flank, Musket ball in the thigh.”

Albritton, John M. pvt. /1st sgt. died Atlanta of disease 6-11-64 [Note: J.N. Albells Co. D 7th Miss. died 17 June 1864, Atlanta per -widow’s pension. (See J.N. or J.M. Albritton; see also M. J. /J.M. Pvt. /Corp. Co. A. 7th Battn. Miss. Inf.)]

Additional Notes: Albritton, John M. per M. Sanders email 7-14-2008. “Service records for 1st. Sgt. John M. Albritton indicate he died of disease at Atlanta, June 11, 1864. His widow, Priscilla (Prestridge), filed a claim in Lawrence County Probate Court on October 18, 1864 for any pay, bounty, or other allowances for his services. This claim states he died in the Fair Grounds Hospital No. 1 on June 17, 1864. Unfortunately his headstone in the Oakland Cemetery does not bear the correct name or company. ‘John M. Albrells Co. D 7th Miss. June 17, 1864.’” [Since there is a question about whether this man is correctly listed as 7th Miss. or 7th battn. Miss. Inf., and because it seems that his marker is spelled incorrectly; efforts should be mad to correct his marker.]
