A. J. enlisted in Company G on November 15, 1863 at Missionary Ridge.
Also in Company G at the time was an H. H. Cooper, age 29+ who had enlisted at Memphis on June 3, 1861.
My best guess is that A. J., to avoid conscription, having turned 18, ventured to Chattanooga to enlist in his older brother's regiment.
A. J. was killed sometime after the regiments muster of February 1864, he is recorded as receiving clothing sometime in March 1864.
Me most likely died during the Atlanta campaign.
