For what it's worth, Glenn Dedmondt's book (just received) says of the flag of the Hayneville Guards (Co. "E", 6th Inf.), "This flag was identified wrongly at its capture, creating much confusion regarding its parent unit. It was not until December 1999, when a newspaper article was located describing the presentation of a flag to the Hayneville Guards, that the flag was correctly identified." This article appeared in the Weekly Herald, Benton, Lowndes County, 14 March 1861. (The flag is the one that Alan Pitts gives a URL for in an earlier post.)
