Pickens Co. guard and pension file

The pension application *may* be where I got the information from that he was in the 11th/Co. H. You should definitely have a look at the pension file! This could clarify everything.

I have found no evidence of any other unit being called the Pickens County Guards. Most nicknamed units were previously Alabama Volunteer Corps units, so in essence, there were two different units with the same nickname in those instances. However, the Pickens Guards were not named that in A.V.C. service. So, it appears that there was only one Pickens Co. Guard---the 11th Ala. Inf., Co. H.
