Bruce Young, whose great grandfather was George Washington Bradley (Z. W. Bradley on the roll below) kindly contributed a copy of a photograph of Captain Benjamin Steven's Troop from Perry County for posting on this site. Another researcher told me that this only part of the original photograph. Several men are missing, some of whom were on horseback.
Only one individual is identified on the photograph. Sherrod Bradley is the second soldier from the left and was the ancestor of the person from whom Bruce received the photograph. If you can identify anyone else please let me know and I will post the information. Thank you again, Bruce!
I am told by Robert McSwain that J. W. Mixon should be G. W. Mixon. George Washington Mixon was known as Wash Mixon and was Mr. McSwain's great great grandfather.

Pearl Odom of Hattiesburg, Mississippi on February 10, 1937. It includes

exception the date and place of enlistment given for every person on the
list is May 14, 1863 at Enon. The first thirteen men on the list are
divided into three separate groups. Except for the first four men ranks
are not given.
