L.C.,

I also have an ancestor who was in the 49th Ala. Inf.

Silas W. Fletcher was a Sgt. in Co. D. of the 49th.

According to Si's service record, he was parolled at Port Hudson on July 9, 1863. He was exchanged at Cahaba in November 1863 (I think that is correct. I don't have his record in front of me just now.)He went on to fight in the battles around Atlanta.
