The only John M. SPEARS I find in the Confederate Army (from Broadfoot's roll) is for a sergeant in the 5th Florida Infantry, Co. "H". There are, however, these possible "J. M. Spears" appearing (but none from AL):

Spears, J.M. AR 1st Mtd.Rifles Co.C
Spears, J.M. GA 60th Inf. Co.F
Spears, J.M. MO 6th Cav. Co.C
Spears, J.M. MS 6th Cav. Co.C

There is also a Pvt. J. M. Spear (note the spelling difference) in the 34th AL Infantry, Co. "B" which could be a possible match. Checked the spelling for SPEER(S) and did not find anything except for a J. M. SPEER who was detailed to an Alabama reserve unit, Hubbard's.
