Worried that it was the photo was of a cavalryman I had searched the roster of the 8th (Dibrell’s) Tennessee Cavalry Regiment CSA which many from the 16th Tennessee joined but he wasnt there.
Due to all the correspondence I receive, & not to let my files get to big, when I have finished the persons biography the info sent to me is deleted so I now have no idea where it came from.
I am going to have to add to the biography the doubts that this is the correct photo for the Samuel H. Alexander who was in the 16th. I have another photo where is extremely doubtful that he was a member of the Regiment, Andrew Jackson Lacy, & this is what I have done.
