6th AL cavalry Abner William Eddins ?
Wed Jun 6 10:14:29 2001


I'm looking for information on a Pvt. Abner William Eddins of the 6th AL cavalry Company B (old) and later Company C (new).

I have a forage requistion that lists him as a "squad commander" in June 1864 at West Point GA. He is listed on the muster rolls for this unit beginning in March of 1863 but I have not been able to determine what happened to him.

Can anyone point me to a reference source for the 6th AL Cavalry during the Atlanta campaign that is more detailed than Ken Jones site. He probably was killed in action or captured but I've never been able to determine what happened. Could someone suggest any way to find out what happened to him?

I have received info from the National Archives but the requistion is the last date that shows him to be associated with the 6th AL Cav.
