J Mark May
10th Alabama Cavalry

I am researching the 10th Alabama Cavalry from late 1863 to the end of the war. My g grandfather Samuel Watson May was in the unit during that time. (Prior to this he was with the 27th AL Infantry.) Has anyone seen a good unit history or memoir written by a member of the 10th AL CAV? Family history says that S W May was a long way from home in April 1865 when the war ended. Does anyone know where the unit was then? Finally, S W May had two brothers of the right age to be in the war, but I have never found their service records. Their names were Andrew Jackson May and Thomas J May. They were from Franklin CO, AL. Does anyone know what other units formed in and around Franklin Co AL where I might look for these two? Many thanks for your expert help.
