Todd,

I believe you're talking about the 5th Alabama Battalion which had a total of four companies A-D and was a part of Archer's Brigade in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The four companies were recruited from Calhoun, Mobile and Sumter counties.

I maintain a website dedicated to the 5th AL Battalion at

Your ancestor, according to the roster was a member of the 5th Alabama Infantry REGIMENT, which was a part of Rodes'/O'Neal's/Battle's Brigade in the Army of Northern Virginia. There is a history of this unit at
5th Alabama Regiment (CSA).
