Clement,

Here's the information on John DAY's Confederate service:

John Walter DAY served in the 2nd battalion, Alabama Light Artillery, Confederate States of America. He was a Private in Company "C" and enlisted November 1, 1861 under the leadership of Captain John D. Haynie. He is shown on the Muster Rolls of that company from November 1, 1861-June 30, 1862. He was temporarily absent on June 14th, 1862, having been detached for Provost Marshall duty.

From July 1, 1862-December 31, 1862, he served in Captain Haynie's company, but was detached September 25, 1862, to temporarily serve+ with Captain THOMAS F. Tobin's company of Tennessee Light Artillery at Baldwin, Mississippi. He continued to be assigned to temporary duty with Tobin's Tennessee Light Artillery from January through October 1863.

He was captured July 4, 1863 after the capitulation of the Confederate Forces at the Battle of Vicksburg. He appears on a Roll of Prisoners of War at Vicksburg, July 13, 1863. He was paroled in City Hospital that same date, probably by Lt.Col. William Davis of the 23rd Regular Indiana Volunteers. Then he was sent by via the U.S. Steamer H. Chouteau for Mobile via New Orleans.

--- 137 years ago, almost-to the DAY!

He next appears on an undated list of sick and wounded Confederate officers and soldiers delivered to the Confederate authorities off of Ft. Morgan, Alabama on July 22, 1863, by the U.S. Steamer Suffolk. He then appears on the Muster roll of Lieutenant Sclater's detachment of paroled prisoners from Company "C", 2nd Alabama Light Artillery from July 30, 1863-February 29, 1864.

He is listed on the Register at Ross Hospital, Mobile from August 25-September 1, 1864 and from September 19-26th for the diagnosis of febris remittens and febris intermittens tert. Source: confederate Archives, Chapter 6, File No. 2; Pages 129, 133, and 142.

Lastly, he appears on a Roll of Prisoners of War, Company "C" Light Artillery of the 2nd Alabama CSA; surrendered at Citronelle, Alabama by General R. TAYLOR, CSA to Major General E.S. Canby, U.S. Army, May 4, 1865; and was paroled at Meridian, Mississippi on May 10, 1865.

I'm sorry this took so long. I had filed it away and kept forgetting to retrieve it.

Regards,

Mary Ann
