William Green May - Lookup Please

Two brothers, William Green May and Peterson May were traveling from the Carolinas to Mississippi when the war started. They "mustered" into service in AL. Both men were gunsmiths and served in some caves in AL repairing the weapons for the Confederacy.

My ancestor William Green May lost some of his eye sight from having to stay in the caves for the duration of the war. He settled in Simpson Co., MS
Peterson settled in Hinds Co., MS

I do not know their unit or have any other info about their service in the Confederacy. Any help would be appreciated.
