If I'm not mistaken, records show this man was captured at Port Gibson MS May 1, 1863. Of course officers and men of the 21st Ala. were miles away at the time, so 21st Ala. is a mistake. I only had time to check 31st Ala. in the few minutes before the library closed and didn't see W. M. Parker as an offcier in that unit. The other possibility is the 20th Ala.; I'll try to check that tomorrow.
