Alan Pitts
He would have been 15 in the summer of 1862 and although it was not an common age, it did occur in the Civil War.
The only Tippit Family listed on census records in Cooke County, Texas was Black and from Tennessee. Would love to see some actual sources for people on Ancestry Trees. He was White & born in Perry County, Alabama.
I already have one record for his service in Louisiana from Claiborne Parish, LA where he grew-up & where his family lived.
