Captain William Ald

I have a bit of a deliema going on here in Wichita concerning a Civil War burial of a man name William Ald. I took a picture of his headstone in the GAR plot of the Highland cemetery. On the headstone it states that William Ald was Capt. Company C, 19th Tenn Infantry. Checking the records of that regiment the company was known as the 'Blountville Guards', commanded by someone else entirely. Furthermore the confusion increases with the obituary in which he is shown to be a member of the Eggleston GAR Post in Wichita. I am doing a record of burials and in that section there are two other confederate burials which I have confimed. Mr. Ald however leaves me wondering if there wasn't some mis-identification done. So far as I know there was no 19th Tenn. Infantry Union. Any help or guidence would be greatly appreciated. Need to set the records straight on this burial.
