40th AL Infantry, Co. H, Sgt. John Newton

I have several relatives who served in the 40th AL Infantry, Co. H., but I am trying to confirm the service of a particular ancestor. Company H was from Sumter County, and according to what I have, my g-g-g-g-uncle John Newton was a Sergeant in Company H. After seeing a previous answer on this unit which included the age of the soldier, I was wondering if there were records of this type for Company H. There were a couple of unrelated Newton families in Sumter when the war broke out, and two John Newtons appear on the census. One served in Fowler's-Phelan's Battery, the other in the 40th Infantry.
If anyone has an age listed for the John Newton in Co. H, 40th AL Infantry, the information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan D. McRaven
