Alexander Barlow

Private, Co H 22nd MS Infantry, promoted to Corporal, served 1861-65, wounded.

Pension application no. 3814 filed August 06, 1902 as resident of Craighead Co Arkansas, died November 22, 1902.

Widow Martha Ann Barlow's pension application no. 3814 filed August 08, 1903 in Arkansas.

Private, Co H 9th MS Infantry, wounded -"slight scalp wound" on September 19-20 1863 at the Battle of Chickamauga.   [The American Citizen Oct 03, 1863]

On May 03, 1862 he enlisted in W. T. Baylis Company of  MS Volunteers to serve for 3 years.  The May to August, 1862 muster for  Company "B", 7th Battalion of  MS Volunteers shows Bryant as "present".

It is believed that Bryant was  wounded at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi and was either carried or followed his unit to  all of the succeeding actions that they fought.    The  November-December, 1862  muster shows  Bryant as a patient, General Hospital,  Enterprise, Mississippi.    The muster  dated  June 20 to October 31, 1863  shows one  entry  "Died - Vicksburg, June 24, 1863."

We believe Bryant died of Black Tongue/Typhoid disease.  He was 27 years old.  He left behind his widow, a son 4 years old -Wyatt- and a son almost 2 years old  -William Green-

It is not known where Bryant is  buried but two different sources say he may be buried in Jordan Cemetery, Macedonia, Mississippi, or he may be buried in one of the city cemeteries in Vicksburg.

---I'm not sure which, if any of the above would be this particular CC Barlow--

One source  says he  served the last 2  years in the Confederate  Army, received discharge money in  gold, and as he left
the paymasters tent he stole the officers pistol.   He later traded the pistol for forty acres of land with a cabin!

Grandson of Branson Barlow of Clarke Co Alabama

In April, 1861, the 13th Regiment Mississippi Volunteers, accepted Daniel James Barlow as an enlisted private.  Pierce Springs was  home and  his occupation was shoemaker.   He was 23 years old and single.   He  journeyed to Quitman, a short distance from Pierce Springs to be mustered in to Captain D.R. McIntosh's Company.   The 13th Regiment Mississ-
ippi Infantry was organized in May 1861 of companies which had  previously been  in the state service and mustered in
to the confederate service for twelve months. About April 1862, the company was reorganized and Daniel James Barlow was commissioned to 2nd Lieutenant. By September 1863, he was promoted to Captain.

He  fought  in  many great  battles, of  which some  were Manassas on  July 21, 1861, Leesburg on  December l1, 1862, Sharpsburg on May 3, 1863, and at Fredricksburg. Two battles were fought at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, and on July 03, 1863.   At  one of  the Gettysburg  battles,  the flag boy (color guard)  was  shot  down,  and Daniel grabbed the flag
before it  hit the ground and marched on.   Other battles were Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and two battles at Knoxville, two at Spottsylvania, and Charleston and many other skirmishes.

On the morning report, November 16, 1864, 1rst Division Hospital, Howard's Grove, Richmond, Virginia, shows Daniel Barlow on sick leave. He had been wounded.   He was with Humphrey's Brigade on November 15th,  when a mini-ball lodged in his hip which he was to carry for the rest of   his life.   The war was over on April 9, 1865, when Lee surrend-  ered his weary Southerners to Grant in a farmhouse near the  village of Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia.   Daniel was given an honorable discharge and he headed home.

The dates and  battles  above  are recorded in  the State Archives of History of  Jackson, Mississippi., and  the  National Archives of History in Washington DC.

From a portion of biographical sketch of  Nathaniel Green Barlow

As a  result of  the  declaration of the Civil War, and  the need of  courageous men to sustain  a great  principle involved, Brother  Barlow  like many other patriotic citizens,  heard the bugle call  in the defense of  his country to which he was
true to the last moments of his life.

He enlisted in Company A of the 4th Mississippi Cavalry Regiment and served his country faithfully until the surrender in 1865.
