However, looking at the 31st Alabama entry, it clear that the Federal soldier who filled out the parole meant 31st Alabama. It's written that way more than onnce on the paper, but I think it's an error not unlike the one you described. It's highly unusual to have a single record on a company officer of an infantry unit like this, and that's all there is here, a May 1865 parole for 2nd Lt. J. G. Yarbrough. There are too many particulars on the pension that match the 34th Alabama for it to be wrong. I'll try to look at the company officers of this company when I get back to the library next week and see if there are any clues there.
