Regiment, Co. "E"

by Barbara B. Sherrard, who
received it from Ken Jones
The 6th Alabama Cavalry
was organized near Pine Level, early in 1863, as part of Brig. Gen'l James
H. Clanton's brigade. Recruits were gathered from Barbour, Coffee, Coosa,
Henry, Macon, Montgomery, Pike, and Tallapoosa counties. It was first engaged
near Pollard with a column of the enemy that moved out from Pensacola.
Ordered then to North Alabama, the 6th was concerned in several skirmishes
near Decatur, with small loss. During the Atlanta-Dalton campaign, the
regiment served for several weeks as part of Brig. Gen'l Samuel W. Ferguson's
and Brig. Gen'l Frank C. Armstrong's brigades, losing quite a number. A
portion of the regiment resisted Maj. Gen'l Lovel H. Rousseau at Ten Islands,
losing a number killed and captured. Transferred to West Florida, the 6th
fought Maj. Gen'l Frederick Steele's column at Bluff Springs, under orders
from Col Armstead, and its loss was severe, especially in prisoners. The
remnant fought Maj. Gen'l James H. Wilson's column, and laid down their
arms at Gainesville, fewer than 200 men.
Field officers: Col.
Charles H. Colvin, Lt. Col. Washington T. Lary (captured at Ten Islands);
Major Eliphalet Ariel McWhorter (captured at Ten Islands, Bluff Springs);
and Adjutant Joseph A. Robertson.
