B. MillerPickens Planters Co. B 40th AlabamaSat Dec 9 00:36:02 2000 I am searching for information about the Pickens Planters, or Company B, 40th Alabama. My g-g-grandfather was Richard Baxter Ledbetter. He was a private in the "Pickens Planters." I would very much like to find out more about these men and which battles they participated in and some historical information about them. I would also like information about my ancestor, Richard Baxter Ledbetter, if any exists in connection with this subject. His brother, Asbury could have also been in this regiment, but am not sure. They were both born in North Carolina, but spent their adult years until their deaths in Pickens Co., Alabama.Sprott's Memoirs Dave Neel, Sun Dec 10 19:39 Asbury and R.B.
