Notes:
Alexander Campbell "Bud" Williams and his brother, Joe, were the sons of John E. Williams of Virginia. He was really only 16 years old and his brother was 14 when they enlisted in this regiment. After the war they returned home to Huntsville, Alabama but found themselves living in a Confederate "hotbed", which was not a popular place to be after wearing the Union Blue. They finally settled in Bethel Springs, TN where Alexander opened a store in the 1870's and later moved to Rose Creek. He remained a Union loyalist and staunch Republican all his life and was an active member of the GAR Chapter at Sandy Flats until his death in 1918.
He was the brother of Joseph Williams
