cowdog26th/50th Inf. - 9th Cavalry/Inf -Sun Feb 18 19:24:53 2001 John, I think James Henry Malone probably joined the 7th/9thAlabama Cavalry because he was probably related to Colonel James C. Malone. James C. Malone was colonelof the 9th cavalry and he started Co. C i think from Limestone county. There are quite a few Malones in hiscompany. I am saying co. c out of memory so if it is different I apologize. Also just a hunch about why he joined. Anyway - 26th 50th. From a 1903 ala courier was printed a letter by William N.
