CONTINENTAL Company A KIA

Before 1874 there was a monument at Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile for CONTINENTAL Company A that was replaced by current Confederate Rest monument. Two sides of the monument are visible in a photograph. Under magnification I could identify the following in sections on the monument.
Top
1 KILLED IN BATTLE KILLED IN BATTLE
2 ? / MONTGOMERY IN MEMORIAL
3 J. BELL ? / WILDCAT GAP ? G. H. INCOLS ? / SELMA
4 ? / PESICA? O.O. CUTTING / MOBILE
5 H. BROWN / MARIETTA ID. NEIMS / PENSACOLA
6 N. LEONARD / FRANKLIN C. C. BUCK / CORINTH
7 C. W. HAGGERTY / NASHVILLE G. WILLIT / ATLANTA
8 J. W. SAMPSON / SPANISH FORT DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

On the base of the there is a list of battles (Santa Rosa Island, Shiloh, Farmington, Memfordsvil.., Wild Cat Ga..., Murfreesboro, Chicamauga) on the left side and “CONTINENTAL Company A” with crossed cannons on the right side. The monument is on a raised mound with wreath draped wooden grave markers around it. On some of the markers the names are visible: Wilson, Asa Burce, S. Hickman.
Some of the individuals listed are buried in Confederate Rest but other are not on the cemetery roll. I Would be interested in information about any of these individuals
