History of the 1st Alabama Cavalry, USV
Knights of the Free State of Nickajack
The First Alabama Cavalry, United States Volunteers
By Steve Ross
In war it’s helpful if soldiers learn to hate the enemy, something the citizens of a democracy aren’t normally brought up to do. In the case of the 1st Alabama Cavalry, United States Volunteers, however, hatred for their enemy wasn’t something learned under fire. Soldiers of the regiment brought their hatred for secession, and secessionists with them to the battlefield. Their blue uniforms clothed a red fury at the state government and its citizens that sought to coerce them into the Confederate army. These minions harassed and brutalized their families, drove them from their homes into the Alabama hills, then into Union lines, and at last into the ranks of the U.S. Army.

1870 finds the family in Chambers County, Alabama. James, Joseph , Wiley, Alfred and John Carson are joined by sister Mary A. and brother Spencer Sherman. Mary's sister, Almeda Cottle ( married Benjamin H. Bonner)is also staying with the family.

June 22nd, 1880 Josiah is 56 years old and Mary is 55. son John Carson , daughter Mary and son Spencer are living in Wedowee in Randolph County, Alabama.
